Zit..."aren't you concerned about the "4th estate" bonding itself with a political party, losing its independence, and becoming a quasi-government press outlet?"
You mean like FOX, and the majority of AM Talk Radio? I
believe that 60 Minutes has an almost impeccable record of credibility earned over decades of checking their sources and reporting what they believe to be the truth. In fact, their integrity is basically unmatched in the TV news media, IMO.
