Reporters aren't hired to spout their "points of view." They are hired to report the news. That means facts only.
If they want to express "points of view" they can write letters to the editor of various newspapers, or write editorials.

Reporters aren't hired to spout their "points of view."

Then a reporter should never be allowed to express his personal opinions when not reporting ? That isn't logical. The issue with Arnett wasn't his reporting. But now that you mention it, many reporters in this country made the same points and it was those points that Arnett reiteritated.

True--it always pisses me off when they call "censorship" when they get canned. The Congress doesn't have the right to censor them, but their network bosses can censor them for being too right-wing, too left-wing, too moderate, too ugly, too good-looking, too poor, too rich, or just because the bosses' wife had a "headache" last night.
