Is the Media a 'Feral Beast'?

The author reflects on the criticisms against the media by British Prime Minister Tony Blair. According to the author, the British and American media are different, but he found Blair's comments sufficiently provoking on an important subject to warrant an airing in the U.S. He states that Blair's complaint about balance appears not to be about political bias. He asserts that many in the press argue that a decline in the newspaper market share is the result of the Internet invasion.
