Perhaps you ought? There's a reason people are reporting they are getting more of their news online. Consider this post about the deafening silence from the MSM regarding an Obama appointee withdrawal:

So Why DID H. Rodgin Cohen Withdraw as Treasurys No. 2? Press Is Curiously Not Curious

There seems to be a wall of silence surrounding the sudden withdrawal of H. Rodgin Cohen (pictured at right) from consideration for the Number 2 job at the Treasury Department.
The party line, according to ABCs This Week host and former Clinton administration adviser George Stephanopoulos, is that an issue arose in the final stages of the vetting process. David Cho at the Washington Post reports that two sources familiar with the matter confirmed this, but that they declined to identify the reason.
Perhaps the press is not really interested in finding out that reason, or reasons. Or worse, theyve got a pretty good idea, and theyd rather not dig; because if they dont dig, they wont have to tell us. Stephanopoulos appears to be giving away that he knows more than hes willing to reveal when he writes that Cohen has been a counsel to just about every major player on Wall Street, which perhaps complicated his nomination.
Perhaps? A review of some of Cohens known history makes it clear that he carries quite a bit of potentially heavy baggage.
All I had to do is a Googe Web search on Rodgin Cohen (in quotes) to find these two items at the sixth and seventh listings:
