So, this is kind of like an auto mechanic rebuilding your car's engine but not bothering to put in the oil. At least he tried and got it 99% right, but it turns out that the 1% he missed was just as important as the 99% he got right.

I certainly don't expect the media to be perfect or balanced or always fair - but I do expect them to make an effort to report the obvious and not make up an obvious fiction.

IOW, you think their job is to inform you.

In fact of course, their job is to part you from your money at the corner newstand, and beguile your attention to the advertisements they print. Nothing more.
