If you'd bother to look where most of the tax dollars go you'll see it
goes to right wingers.

I replied. Apparently the NSA swallowed it up.

One of the techniques used by the bad guys is the undermining
confidence of the foundations of Democracy.

A skeptical news media is essential to a healthy government. A news
media in lock step with the entrenched power structure does not serve
the people.

Again, please give us some examples of ideology affecting the
dissemination of factual information. Thank-you.

Not sure if this could be replied to so I won't try.

Yes, that's sounds pretty good to me.

Common sense would tell you that the things we communicate to one
another are by definition colored by our experiences, background and
temperment. There is not a newsman who is 100% objective, as much as
many of them try to be.

As someone with a smattering of journalism training I can assure you
that this is one of the first things discussed in school. Objectivity
is a job skill in the journalistic profession. Story selection is way
more biased than individual reporters' work.

Well, possibly you had not been smattered by exposure to the real world
during and after your journalism training. Other than you there is not
a person I'm aware of that would claim that their writings are free
from bias. It just is not possible to be bias free in writing. It may
not be conscious, but it is there.

I say that is entirely wrong. A good reporter knows when he's
spinning and know when he's not. Objectivity is part of being a
professional. People who write slanted stories aren't real news
people.
