Not quite a eulogy, especially in the comments. How widespread is that feeling? I think most many Americans still think of him as the most trusted man (if at all).

When the press does not inform or misinforms citizens, the citizens cannot vote properly, and this is one of their primary responsibilities, as you mentioned. (In addition to not being able to make other decisions wisely based on misreported facts.) The role of the press is very important in the modern world, especially so in democratic societies, and especially so until the most recent times with the Internet, blogging etc giving the voice to regular citizens, not just to those who report by profession (as a job).

You have not overstayed your welcome, why would you think so?

Just trying to be polite. Easy to forget in a heat of a discussion.
