It might be interesting to take this question up again -- not least because Magee collected his data in 2005, and last week at Davos, Slate's Jacob Weisberg was still talking about "the sometimes embarrassing attempts of MSM to join the action on the Web."

So we've put together a poll -- a short one, but it's based on some of what Magee asked in his.  It's over here at News2020Project.com.
