And the prospects are bleak for its return.

The Press Developing A Backbone?
You can bet that Baghdad Bobby Gibbs will let Chip know in a little one-on-one that he had better not be so free and open with his questioning. The smarm from Gibbs is wearing thin..
And Helen Thomas is my new press heroine. .

You said it quite well: "the smarm from Gibbs is wearing thin." That is a very revealing exchange...and a hopeful sign that maybe the media would like some of its dignity restored. Keep up the good work!
I've had a positive impression of Jake Tapper for some time -- I didn't quite know why, other than he seemed to be trying to report on a story in an insightful, rather than predictable, way. You should send him the link to your blog. I think he'd appreciate it.

Thanks. I believe that guys like Jake Tapper are starting a revolution of sorts.
