And good reporting does not mean showing a left-wing opinion and a right-wing opinion.
Deb said: >There are mainstream papers >that do aim for objectivity, such as the Christian Science Monitor, NY >Newsday, NY Times and the Washington Post (although right-wingers would >probably disagree about the last two) Left-wingers might disagree too! I certainly would - I don't know the Washington Post well but the NY Times is extremely centrist. Though I can definitely see where right-wingers would complain about its bias, as someone who was a Nader supporter I can say I have been appalled at the NYT's coverage of the progressive left and activist concerns in general. And one last note about Marxism etc - one thing I noticed in some of these discussions is the schism between "them" and "Americans." There is certainly no singularity in thought among Americans, so it seems fallacious to me to create that division. Better to avoid us vs them rhetoric, I think - though I know I indulge in it too sometimes! back to bed now for real, Yael
