Rush said a long time ago that reporters “report the facts as they happened and let the people decide”...journalists put themselves in the middle of the story.

What we have going on in the media not jsut in this country but everywhere else is that we have too many journalists and not enough reporters.

Everyone with a byline in a newspaper or a standup lockout on tv are looking to become the next Woodward and Bernstien and what happens is that the facts fade to the background in favor of the reporters personal opinion and emotional take on the story.

You got it and no on exposes them any better than we do here. The last year I was on radio full time I used to get a copy of the morning Miami Herald and just arbitrarily pick a column and rip it to shreds due to the obvious bias.(Ironically I used to write for them years ago)
