I agree with most of what you said. I guess I'm looking at percentages. Reuters is rarely a major news source for me, but I'm guessing that most (90%) of their work is 'fair and balanced'. Maybe I'm wrong, but let's work with that. And typically their workers have some type of j-school ethics or did at some point. At a minimum they are faking pictures and knowing they are breaking ethics. With someone like Limbaugh, 90% is manipulated facts or outright lies. And he doesn't feel as if he's breaking ethics and has said so in many interviews when he's been called out for it. One example in particular I can think of is when he threw out statistics on the number of people getting minimum wage. His stat was triple the actual number. He never retracted or admitted anything because he was "a commentator, not a Journalist." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212704 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
