Bobert, of course the battle exists. I was afraid the thread would creep completely off the subject of 'truth in news' in favor of fighting the 'my beliefs are more right than yours' battle here. Again. Threadcreepaphobia.

I watched part of an interview last night by Christianne Amanpoor. (Alright, I remembered her name even if I can spell it.) She asked a guy (well, I don't remember HIS name) if he thought Al Jazeera and such pandered to popular opinion. He said all countries had news services that did that. Now THAT was truth. I think Amanpoor is a good candidate here.
