Quote:And it's the job of constitutionally protected journalist not to come down for one side or the other. Yet, news outlets routinely slant, strategically omit facts, or downright editorialize for one side or the other.  But I guess it's all as old as politics itself.

 

Reporters have to call it the way they see it, and if they don't see it the same way you see it, there's nothing you can or should be able to do about it.   Fox News sees it one way, and MSNBC sees it another way.   Both are objective.   Neither is neutral.   There is a difference between neutral and objective.   What I can't stand is neutral.   As long as news outlets report what they think are the salient facts, that's fine with me.  But when they go overboard to try to balance the news, that I don't like.   That's a news organization without balls.  Say what you want about Fox News, at least they have the balls to call it as they see it whether I like it or not.   CBS, NBC, ABC are so scared to call it like they see it, they wind up not even reporting on important things at all.   All you get from them is the latest weather disaster, or plane crash, and then 10 minutes of fluff.
