They can be "complete human beings", but all that completeness shouldn't be on view for the TV viewing world to watch. I can't remember ever hearing who Walter Cronkite voted for or what Huntley or Brinkley thought of anything political. I don't want to hear facts presented by somebody with some other apparent agenda. Be a pundit, be a talking head cheerleader, or report the damned news. Don't try to do both and think you'll get the same respect, because while people from many different political philosophies can respect unadorned facts, they don't respect spin so much. I don't, anyway.
