I like the labels printed.

The "new media" has not led to the assumed greater quality in journalism, quite the opposite. The more online newpspoaers there are, the more it all becomes a paste-and-copy job. Papers copy from other papers, and them alltogether seem to base on fwer sources than ever before, mistaking "verification by different independent sources" with "number of papers having copied the content".

Yeah, I like those labels very much.
