"[G]erbilism" is a pretty good word for what's been going on in the news media these days. Gerbilism is an apt term for something that's soft and warm and cuddly, safe and timid, with no sharp teeth and no bite whatsoever.
The term was apparently coined by Doug Bates, associate editor of The Oregonian, in a commencement address to future "gerbilists" at the University of Oregon.
Thanks to Instapundit for the reference.
