If the media wants to survive, all it has to do is become balanced. An equal amount of reports from the other idealogical side would do much to extend their life. The media is dying because they haven't realized that it is their own hands around their necks that is strangling them to death.

Become balanced and we become benign.

It isn't just about balance - its about simply reporting the news. Its about keeping all opinion out of a story and instead simply reporting what happened. A reporter shouldn't have any point of view except that of the observer. They report, we decide.

That puts them between a rock and a hard place. They will gain credibility but their ideological message will move decidedly to the right. We see this in talk-radio, the moment you tread in the dead zone of liberalist dogma, you lose market-share and eventually fail.

Socialism is best sold by lying to the public.
