Last February, the Atlantic Monthly ran a cover story entitled "Why Americans Hate the Media." The 14-page article examined the news media's long-standing inability to win the general public's trust. People believe the media glorifies itself and doesn't actually see society's real problems.
去年二月，「大西洋月刊」也以「美國人為何痛恨媒體」為封面故事，長達十四頁的篇幅，檢討新聞界未能取得民眾信賴的老問題，認為美國記者自我膨脹過度，以致常常看不到社會真正問題所在。
