I might have to read the article again--but was he not hired to be biased???? Are not talk show hosts supposed to be biased? Even uber-biased?

True, but an honest evaluation of the facts is ALWAYS required I would think. He was not an honest broker in my opinion. He really clouds the issue in the article by comparing Pearl Harbor to the Iraq war.

We don't want to wait until we have another Pearl Harbor (9/11) now do we?

"Bias" is a perjorative. " Perspective" is a neutral term. Everyone has a perspective.

Those who claim not to have a nameable perspective--e.g., journalists--are the most biased. Those who self-identify as liberal (or, far more often, conservative) are by that self-critique less biased than those do not.
