Wow, this is one of the biggest loads of horse-puckey I've read on the subject (at least from someone with the training to know better.) One could begin with the idea that journalists substituting "balance" for truth was something that originated with journalists themselves, rather than being a result of years of getting hammered for being "liberal" if they didn't give equal time to fringe conservative viewpoints. I could go on, but it's already been done better here.
