If reporters could simply report facts and not impose personal opinion, then we could have some decent news coverage. But I recognize that this is very hard, perhaps impossible to do.

I think a newspaper should have the honesty to declare (as they once did) "This is a pro-Democrat newspaper. We support abortion. We support unions. We support homosexual marriage. We oppose Christian morality. Now, here's the news as we want you to see it --"

Be transparent about it. Or, are they worried that the public would buy even less of the crap if the public really understood how deliberate the propaganda effort really is??

Americans were better served for news when we had competing liberal and conservative news outlets that wore their positions proudly, than we are now when bias hides under the tattered flag of "objective journalism".

I get most of my news from admittedly conservative sources. But I like to know what the other side is thinking, so I will dip into the Nation or the Huffington Post from time to time (guilty secret... once in a great while I read something there that causes me to give careful consideration to my own views, that's OK too).

But what I almost never do any more is read anything from the so-called "objective" MSM.
