"Covering" "America" "today"
It's funny--but not so funny--that in an article about the loss of journalistic credibility, Kristof says something like this:
They're babbling in tongues on the streets of the heartland, and Dan Rather sure as heck can't tell us city folk what in the heck is going on.

We also need more diverse newsrooms. When America was struck by race riots in the late 1960's, major news organizations realized too late that their failure to hire black reporters had impaired their ability to cover America. In the same way, our failure to hire more red state evangelicals limits our understanding of and ability to cover America today.
