I agree there is a difference in scale here, I am just not optimistic that the media is going to step up to meet the greater challenge. The lead up to the Iraq War was such glaring failure of media coverage, which routinely failed to challenge the Bush Administration on its shaky (and later found to be untrue) case for war. Facing an administration that is willing to brazenly lie about everything, and a public now skeptical of the accuracy of news, the media is facing a serious crisis.
