Balance in the Media

[evilneko]

This goes doubly-so for commentators and columnists.

Naturally. It's their job. They are not reporters reporting the news, they're pundits talking about the news.

 

And that's really the problem, isn't it? Too many commentators billing themselves as news reporters. The other half of the problem is even when they explicitly state they're giving commentary (such as Olbermann's "all the news and commentary...") people watching often just swallow it whole without thinking about it for themselves.
