Thread Name: BS: ABC News rumor?
Subject: RE: BS: ABC News rumor?
I dunno about this hyper-objective reporting in the news. I guess that they would not have been able to refer directly to the Allied victory in World War Two since one person's victory is another person's defeat. So, to retain journalistic objectivity and balance, the headlines would read:

ALLIED FACILITATED CLOSURE OF THE EVENT!!!

Following that logic, why does ABC use only American reporters. Shouldn't we have a few members of the Taliban or Bin Laden's network working at ABC as well, so as to provide a balanced, objective viewpoint.
