"Reporters seem to think they've done an adequate job just because they give both sides a chance to state their case," Lovelady says. "But if that's all you do, you may have satisfied the imagined constraints of objectivity, but often you haven't told the reader anything.
"It's the most common and infuriating flaw in the press today. Reporters just don't measure what each side said against the known facts. It shouldn't just be he said/she said. It should be he said/she said/we say -- and here's why we say it."

You are right on the money .. that is exactly what I think when I listen to FOX. Some of their reporters do that - but a lot of them don't - and it really angers me. The weekends are the worse - and they seem to pander to the left more on weekends and I end up not watching them at all, except for War Stories.
In Rush's newsletter, he did an interview with Brent Bozell. Brent said he believed there would be another conservative news network very soon. My impression was that he meant a station more conservative than FOX - and a station less inclined to leave out the "we say" part. I sure would like to be involved in getting something like that on the air - what a fun job that would be.
