I should really post an answer on the main blog. Remind me if You don't see it by Friday. Anna... Didn't you make that point earlier? :-) I seem to recall it. And the answer is yes.

Bad stenography is the death panels stuff, it spreads disinformation. But good stenography would create a written record that Joe Smith said Y, that someone a few years from now (when it transpires that not-Y had been true) could use, to hold Smith accountable. is there a way that we could enable "good stenography" yet squelch "bad stenography"?

Journalism does a poor job of calling bullshit. That it certainly does call bullshit inconsistently regarding certain kinds of issues simply makes it worse.

The "death panels" coverage is just the latest example of an ongoing problem that affects issues of concern to all political factions. The specific issue is irrelevant.
