"He said, she said" non-journalism discussed

Meanwhile, Jay Rosen's blog offers a nice discussion of the problems of "he said, she said" "journalism" (it's not journalism at all). It's the kind of poor excuse for journalism exemplified by one of the Milwaukee TV stations that "interprets" election results by bringing on the head of the state Republicans and the head of the state Democrats.  That way, of course, we viewers are able to figure out what really happened.

Read Rosen's piece.
