And especially by TV news. I cringe when I see these self-important anchor types sharing their own personal take on a particular storty rather than simply "reporting" from a fresh perspectivre. As you suggested, there's certainlly a parallel to the rabble rousing rags on the frontier. thomasrizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762315714546553945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-62172251951954794132015-06-16T14:50:54.490-05:002015-06-16T14:50:54.490-05:00Thanks, Kit.

Bias for political reasons or editor approval apparently still plays a part. <br />It doesn't look like things have changed that much after all this time. <br />Thanks for presenting.Jerry Guinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074197803776713004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-21633390572159624002015-06-16T12:09:47.062-05:002015-06-16T12:09:47.062-05:00As usual, a great article, Tom.
