Moore and Gupta: Welcome to Mainstream Journalism

There has been a lot of hullabaloo in the blogosphere about CNN's Gupta criticizing Michael Moore's Sicko. The video is here. I don't really see what everyone one is upset about. Yes, it was mildly unfair and had a factual mistake, but lets face it, on the whole this story was probably above average in fairness and accuracy. That doesn't speak very well for the state of journalism, but this was no hit piece. This was just your garden variety slightly snarky, smug, mostly factual report... They couldn't say that Sicko was factual, what kind of story would that be? ;)
