Commentary and editorials are certainly welcomed, but as you pointed out, they are not required to inform us as to their intentions before they speak. I guess a good question would be, who, if anyone, is actually a reporter and not a commentator?SandraJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492365192174678899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29300023.post-68016939244457560342008-09-24T16:57:00.000-07:002008-09-24T16:57:00.000-07:00I agree both with your comments about where the ca...I agree both with your comments about where the candidates should be and about what journalism should be doing. This is a crisis, but Obama hasn't been much of a participant in Congress anyway, so his shirking now doesn't surprise me.

I think they have a responsibility to declare their loyalty or bias at the outset of every article and make a clear separation between news and commentary. It is very difficult to remove all sources of bias from a news article, but that's why not everyone should be a reporter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
