Excellent Glenn Greenwald essay on the death of mainstream journalism:
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/oct/14/independent-epitaph-establishment-journalism
The perfect epitaph for MSM:
" ... if the government tells me I shouldn't publish something, who am I as a journalist to disobey? Put that on the tombstone of western establishment journalism. It perfectly encapsulates the death spiral of large journalistic outlets."
It's as true in the US as in the UK: there is no more independent investigative journalism. It's all just government-approved puff pieces.
And you think our children can't tell the different between a "free press" and a captive one? Is this perhaps one reason why they no longer excel in school ... because of all the lies they are fed there every day?
