Media propensities
What's wrong with this picture?...
From Michael Barone in the Washington Times:
"'Doesn't the fact that 90 percent of your people are Democrats affect your work product?' I asked.
'Oh, no, no,' he said. 'Our people are professional. They have standards of objectivity and professionalism, so that their own views don't affect the news.'
'So what you're saying,' I said, 'is that your work product would be identical if 90 percent of your people were Republicans.'
He quickly replied, 'No, then it would be biased.'"
