Thread Name: BS: Fair and Balanced
Subject: RE: BS: Fair and Balanced
Programs like "Washington Week in Review" and "Bill Moyers' Journal" notwithstanding?
I didn't say they were "liberal," what I said was that they are about the only "fair and balanced" news services this country has right now. At the very least, they try. I also get much of my news from foreign sources, and no matter what the source (including NPR and PBS), I listen with my brain in gear.
But I'm not going to argue the point.
I wouldn't credit a blatantly liberal news service any more than I would credit a blatantly conservative service. News is supposed to be as unbiased as human journalists can keep it.
