I agree completely. 2008 was the turning point, marking a shift from sins of omission to sins of commission as you eloquently stated. 2008 was also the year I left TV news in India, though it was due to personal reasons post-marriage and not out of an explicit plan to change course. But over my last year it was clear that things were taking a turn for the worse, which partly prompted me to switch to business news in my last TV job in India

Good to know. I think business news TV always had sins of omission in spades (in its failure to keep biz accountable) but not sins of commission, unless I'm mistaken!
