But the bigger issue is that, if THAT is what regular NEWS and Newspapers believe is 'good investigative journalism,' that says a LOT about their ability to even report the facts, don't you think?

Your right, although i'd like to know which newspapers have been focusing on "who joe the plumber really is." In my experience, newspapers do much less to report on fluff pieces like this than the TV news stations. I actually agree with you on this one, it's ridiculous that news stations think that this is worth discussing, when there are so much more important issues at hand. I have criticized pretty near every major news program in the states for this reason, and yet most newspapers seem to be a hell of a lot better in that respect.
