The object of the news is to be OBJECTIVE, not "balanced"

As in...tell the fucking truth.

According to Candy Crowley, she can't make the call as to who between John McCain and Barack Obama, is the bigger liar


I see. Tell me, what IS the job of journalists these days? Is it to simply repeat whatever the campaigns, specifically the Republicans, tell them? Cause if it is, then they really aren't journalists. JOURNALISTS are supposed to find out the truth. But if all that you are doing is simply bending over backwards to be "balanced", so much so that you are distorting "reality", then what you are is not a news station. You are...a propaganda station.

She's a GOP tool -- literally, whether she knows it or not. That's their typical game plan -- throw out a lot of shit at the opponent, whether factual or not, and then accuse both sides of doing it so that the actual issues get hidden and voters think, "I can't believe either of them," and either stay home or vote for the guy they want to have that beer with.
