Television news should not entertain as well as inform.

Brian Williams is the evening network news anchor I trust most. It's not that I don't necessarily trust the others, I'm just more comfortable with Williams for whatever reason.

TechCrunch should not have published internal Twitter documents leaked to them by a hacker.

The use of the Internet has affected the English language. And terribly.

Newspaper organizations are necessary to maintain journalistic standards.

It is appropriate for the President of the United States to make appearances on late night talk shows.

I do feel secure using Craigslist for transactions. I would. I've never bought or sold anything on Craigslist, but I have used their job board.

Facebook merits a higher valuation than MySpace. I use neither, but it seems as if MySpace is for the 13-year-old girls of the land, and Facebook is for a bit of an older demographic.

Craigslist should not remove its 'Erotic Services' listings. Leave the whores alone.

The Pulitzer Prizes are still relevant. Absolutely. The Pulitzer still carries with it a prestige that is unparalleled.

The Internet has had a negative effect on journalism. More than ever, you see a need to be first with a story, no matter what. With all the tweets and blogs, we're getting a lot of potential information, but not real information. To put it in sports terms, a reporter will blog, "Team X might be interested in Team Y's quarterback." So we're not told anything, really. But yet, this deserves our time?

Hulu merits a higher valuation than YouTube. Real TV!

CNBC is a credible financial news network.

David Gregory is a good choice to host Meet the Press. Sure, why not.

It is not ethical for journalism to be financed by crowdfunding.

The government should not provide financial assistance to the print journalism industry. The onus is on them to adapt to the way things are done now. I personally enjoy a newspaper, but I also go online for resources. There's a way for both to be successful, and the government giving money to the press is obviously a huge conflict of interest

Social networking sites have a positive effect on one's ability to make connections in person. I just read a story about studies that said this is good, normal behavior. Just like in the past when kids talked on the phone, etc. It creates an ability to socialize.

Paparazzi should be required to obtain permission from the people they photograph. It bothers me that privacy has become such an after thought in this country. Everybody has to know everything about everyone.

MSNBC is politically biased. It's almost impossible for a news channel not to be.

Blogs have a positive effect on politics.

Fox News is not "fair and balanced." Ha ha.

The media is politically biased and generally leans to the Right.

NBC's coverage of the 2008 Olympic Games was satisfactory.

Bloggers should be allowed to blog anonymously.

States should not charge sales tax for online purchases.

XM and Sirius satellite radio should be allowed to merge.

The FCC should not strengthen indecency rules regarding broadcast television.

The decibel level of television commercials should not be regulated.

Any publisher of leaked information always should have the right to maintain the confidentiality of his source.

The Fairness Doctrine should not be reinstated.

The New Yorker cover featuring Barack and Michelle Obama is effective satire.

Citizen journalism has a positive effect on news reporting.

Internet gambling should not be banned.

Tim Russert's death did not merit the media coverage it received.

The U.S. should enact the Free Flow of Information Act.

Print newspapers will not become obsolete.

Bloggers should not form a labor union.

Websites should allow anonymous comments.

Journalists should reveal the identities of anonymous sources who have misled them.

The Vanity Fair photos featuring Miley Cyrus were appropriate.
