Todd Purdum's analysis in the New York Times online edition provides a very interesting bit of perspective on the likely impact of the 9/11 commission report, but the general thrust of the article kills me.
The headline encapsulates my complaint. (Heads are usually not the responsibility of the reporter, but of the copy editor)
"Swift Action on Advice From the 9/11 Commission Is Unlikely" is like reporting "Ocean swimmers likely to get wet." I mean, come on, what a crazy idea. A slow-moving federal government? Next you'll be telling me that multinational corporations have an undue influence on national policy, or that money buys you access to power, or that the media is fair and unbiased.
New motto? "All the news that'sfit to print not news."
