I don't have time for your entire screed, but reporters ARE supposed to
be part of the process. They are supposed to speak truth to power and
stick up for the common person.



Reporters are supposed to report. Report without fear, favouritism or
prejudice. Report without injecting editorial style commentary or
interpretation. Just report.

They aren't there to speak the truth to anyone. They are there to ASK
the truth and to ask it from as many sources as they can.

If the reporters do their part honestly and properly, the 'common
person' should handle the rest. Fear of death and retaliation sometimes
prevents that handling.

Fact belongs on the first page. Editorial comment belongs on a clearly
labelled page four.
