NEW YORK - Tom Curley, CEO of The Associated Press, called on news executives Thursday to "stop pining" for the past and adapt to the new ways that news is being distributed and consumed.
"The first thing that has to go is the attitude," Curley said. "Our institutional arrogance has done more to harm us than any portal."

The second thing they must do is ask themselves why they care so much about how well or how badly the Dems and left wing issues are doing. Once they ask themselves that, they may finally realize they are biased.

Yeah, you might want to actually do a little reading on the articles that you post.
What he's talking about is old-school newspapers and such having an attitude about sticking with the traditional way of getting news out, via newspaper, radio, TV, etc. He's talking about adapting to the new media of the internet and other new forms of communication.

It means Tom Curley has a pair, unlike Bush who is too much of a bed-wetting Nancy Boy to admit his own arrogance.

I am not mainstream media, but I am arrogant.
So what now would you deduct from that?
The first Thong that has to go is Curley.

What I'd like to see is honest, individual reporting. Not the "mass media" format that's been going on for some time.

Fox is the biggest mainstream media or at least a huge part of it....are they included in your jibe as well...this is probably aimed at Fox more than anyone else.

this person is talking about web blogs and e distribution of news papers instead of the traditional and decline venues of paper distribution, you should actually try reading the article you quote

It means he is trying to capture the audience and tell them they need to do things differently to spice up the industry, or lose business to other media outlets.
wasn't really rocket science.

That would be like Che Guevera rising from the dead to post on the internet.
