re: Could a generally unbiased news network be created?

Absolutely not. Rush examined an article by some guy the other day; touch on just this point.

The argument posited in the article was (paraphrased) that for a journalist to be unbiased, was in and of itself biased. Bias for just telling the Truth - with no regard for negative consequences - is considered a bias. Or worse, a form of bigotry.

The writer of that article was directing his essay at the Liberal mindset of what is an attempt to rationalize...lying. At least as I understood it. I thought about searching out the article and reading it; think it was wrote a few years back.

Bottom line. No. PBS was supposed to be the 'unbiased' and market (money) proof answer to market driven Media. And we all know how that turned out.

Truth will be realized...after the asskickin'.
