perfectly said. As usual, I might add, Judah. There's also the question of principle vs. position. So, for example, what are the principles we agree to for "media" reporting? If I run an Obama story to need a McCain story just to stay equal? Things like that. This gets back to the asserting that the media is biased - based on what principles? For example, many consider Chris Matthews biased. I don't since, especially lately, he clear reveals his opinion, but he equally challenges a range of people on what they're saying. Chris Wallace, for example, does the same thing. I like those guys. So one of my principles for political reporting would be that it's fine to have an opinion, but challenge facts and positions equally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:277103 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
