Don't take this the wrong way, but how do you know that your slant is the correct slant? Whats the real deal to you may not be the real deal to someone else.
Good point but I think that a org. that purports to be a journalistic venture has a responsibility to at least attempt to be unbiased. Murrow would be disgusted with the TV news as it stands now.

If they want to fill the air with their own slants etc. then they should drop all pretense of being “news’ and just advertise themselves for what they are, op ed’s.
