Would agree, and try to do that.  This sort of so-called
journalism suits the bean counters that run the newspapers
and other media outlets well too.  IF we're owned by left
leaning folks we don't offend them, or their advertisers.
IF we're to the right, we don't offend either.  REal
journalism might mean that we gore the ox of the big
advertiser, or not promote the owners' point of view.

Iow, real journalism is dead, sound the dirge.

Regards,
