Dear Joe, Excellent post! I really enjoyed reading it. It's always perplexed me though whether journalists can be truly objective. Don't they bring their own biases into reporting, not just the editorials but reporting too. Christian Amanpour of CNN is often critical of the US. Dan Rather made a fool of himself with the George Bush veteran's story and revealed his anti-Bush bias. Pranay Roy and Sardessai are always inclined to the left. Is it possible, total objective journalism? A journalists perspective would be nice.
I'm an unapologetic lefty, so I say thank God for liberal journalists but are they unbiased?
