Woodruff added that the motto should be unnecessary for any news organization. "Fox is concerned about its news reputation. At CNN, we don't need to use those terms," she said.

Woodruff is full of used food.

CNN is so concerned with their reputation that it ain't funny.

They know they look like sh*t, and that consumers are calling them on it. That's why the bad-mouthing of FNC all the time.

All these folks are upset that any "independent" voice would stray from the "journalistic ideal" that these morons all are hammered with in J-school. And when Fox took the model and turned it on it's ear and people responded, all hell broke loose.

CNN and the others are looking over their shoulders when they walk, now. They know the writing is on the wall.

Journalistic Rules for Ideological Objectivity:

Rule 1: Never allow criticism of the objectivity of a journalist.

Rule 2: Never allow the sacred honorific, "objective journalist," to be applied to anyone of the left or of the right.

Rule 3: Never allow a specific, real existing human to be described as "left."

Bingo! Wasn't it CNN's Christine Amanpour, who said that CNN muzzled itself during the Iraq Battle, because of intimidation by FOX News and the Bush Administration. If they didn't care about Fox, why would Amanpour say this?

Yes, Judy Woodruff, a news organization shouldn't have to label itself "fair and balanced", it's a damn shame. Fox has ridden that hoss to the top of the ratings by being "fair and balanced". CNN has sunk, because patriotic Americans know CNN as the Commie News Network or the Clinton News Network. We know America haters when we see them.

Well, of course, almost no one sees them at CNN anymore, because almost no one watches it anymore.

I did flip over and watched a couple minutes of Paula Zahn with Anderson Cooper. They had some General on and asked him if the media was reporting fairly, the Iraq Battle aftermath. The General mealy-mouthed about news being in the eye of the beholder, with that nonsense, I flipped back to Fox, since the commercial was probably over.
