That's the way it should be. Unbiased reporting means they're not supposed to tell it they way THEY see it. .....

Sure.. understand! This is not related to "unbiased reporting". The survey was actually relating to serious issues in journalism and the question of biase was not the issue. The issue was that if the reporting staff did not present a picture they way it "was supposed to be" presented, - they would be fired.

These people are fully aware of biase - that is elementary stuff. It was more to do with them being pressured to actually produced biased stories where there were "contentious" issues.

Hell.. kinda funny when you think of it, but Johnson could not even watch a program with Cronkite without calling up the studio in the middle of the broadcast and ordering it off the air! *g* And.. Cronkite was lifted up by the lapels by Johnson on more than one occasion! These were the days when there was some freedom!
