The article seems to have some truth wrapped in a lot of sensationalism. The basic premise seems to be that the News has become more entertainment in its effort to gain viewership, and as its taken viewers along with it, they have lost their ability to think critically.

I don't agree with the conclusion, I often read pieces like this one which expresses outrage with the news media, but can agree that the economic requirements for news programs and channels to support their host organizations has influenced them in negative ways. And that leads me to conclude that if you want hard hitting and accurate journalism you need to find a different way to support it.
