<DIV><p> <br>We can no longer trust that our journalists are reporting the news without underlying corporate or governmental agendas. The US government deregulates radio and right-wing Clear Channel gobbles up available frequencies. Journalists are embedded and the war in Iraq is a noble one. Whether the information is fabricated, one-sided, or illegally obtained, recent scandals like those involving Judy Miller and Robert Woodward only serve to underline the point that journalistic integrity is not what it used to be. </p> <p> <br>Enter Jeffrey St. Clair and Alexander Cockburn, who have not only kept the tradition of muckraking alive, but have reinvented and reinvigorated it for our times. Their newest effort, <I>End Times,</I> presents a detailed scrutiny of the &ldquo;quality&rdquo; print press and leading corporate media in the last decade, detailing a disastrous sequence of misrepresentation, suppression, ignorance, and willful embrace of the government&rsquo;s agenda. These essays trace the impending disintegration of what is now &ldquo;old media&rdquo;&mdash;the traditional and now potentially tainted sources of our daily news&mdash;and looks toward the emergence of an entirely new landscape of mass communications: one that includes a more populist approach to information dissemination.</p></DIV>
