Great will be the day when they start doing their jobs... reporting the news, not creating it.

I reported, for the first time, in truest journalistic tradition, on the Des Plaines rejection of a gun control measure.

I was amazed at how easy it was to create bias by *what* I reported, not how I reported it.

I think that just the fact that something gets reported at all sometimes is interpreted as 'biased'.

To the communist party of China, anything that does not promote their leadership is 'biased'.

Thats one of the good things about FR. We get the same story often from 5 different sources, and in the end we get a pretty good picture of what really happened.

I think more reporting, not less, is a good thing.
