Newspapers:

Last year Paul Salopek wrote a gigantic and brilliant story for the Chicago Tribune: "A tank of gas, a world of trouble."

Ben Joravsky and Michael Miner at the Chicago Reader are doing great work.

Magazines:

Matt Taibbi, who used to write for the eXile raking muck about the Oligarchs is now at Rolling Stone giving our corrupt system the same treament.

TV:

Bill Moyers was hosting "NOW."  He retired a few years ago.  Fortunately that was just a freak temporary thing.  He's back hosting "Bill Moyers Journal".

"Frontline" and "NOVA" are also pretty good.

Radio:  

"Worldview" is about the only place I've found doing regular, often under the radar, non-corporatey international journalism.  They also feature "Radio Netherlands" shows.  Which are great.

And of course there are the blogs we all know about.  

Lesson:

Alternative, public and local media is where it's at, with little exception.   Where are our Edward R. Murrows and Woodward & Bernsteins?  Dead and sold out...
