"I'm a little concerned about this notion everybody wants us to be
objective, and when we don't think we can be fully objective, to be
fair"
You have to be kidding me.....why can't you be objective? If you want to give your F'ing opinion then don't call it the ABC News with Peter Jennings, call it ABC's My Damn Opinion with Peter Jennings!

Hey Ock since you live in a concentrated liberal haven of Oregon it doesn't bother you that someone who many look to for news is slanted your way. Sure it bothers me that its not my way, that's human nature. The sad fact is that too many people take it for granted that what these anchors say is fact. When you spin a news story to a political viewpoint is dishonest to the viewer. For example a story reads "Man killed in suburban home" sounds like a bad thing, a murder doesn't it? But what if the facts are a man woke up to noise his house, got a bat out of his closet and headed to his kids rooms where in one he found a man leaning over his 3yr daughter? He takes one swing hitting the man in the head. The headline completely missleads the event but isn't really a lie. That's exactly the kind of spin the media in general engages in, and big media is the worst. I wish more people would do homework and try to find independent sources of fact, listen to both sides and then make a decision on what side you sit on. But many don't. These anchors can do it all day long, that's fine....all just call them dishonest to what delivering news is until they start calling it opinion. It happens on both sides and its wrong either way.
