Media Mugs: anyone doing a *good* job?
I know we've complained a lot about the media coverage this week, but has anyone been doing a good job? I'm not talking about the pundits, but working 'journalists'.

I think Chris Jansing on MSNBC has been fairly even-handed in that she hasn't shoveled GOP talking points during her segments. She hasn't sneered or made snide comments about any of last nights speakers (yet) that I've noticed. John King of CNN actually came to Kerry's defense Sunday night when Blitzer was trying to make a huge deal out of Kerry being 'booed' at Fenway. King (who's a Boston native) did a pretty good smackdown on Blitzer.

By far, the most obnoxious thus far has been Matthews, with Hemmer a close second. I'm shocked that Crowley has been fairly restrained, but then I've avoided CNN this week so I might have missed an outrage or two.

Are there any other decent reporters out there who aren't intent on doing a hatchet job? So far I can only find the above two examples - and King has done his share of whoring in the past, so he's not totally clean.
