I can tell from his accent Jennings is not from Minnesota. It doesn't make him seem more objective to me. But knowing that he is Canadian probably does. My father told me that he was the only major newscaster to mention Canada's contributions during the height of the crises. Was that because he was biased or because he had information and a perspective that the others do not have?

I do not believe that a reporter has the right to wear what he wants. They are part of a team and the airtime and the images broadcast belong to his employers who have every right to decide how he should present himself.
