A neutral press is like a thief with a conscience - a fairy tale!

it doesn't matter what the issue, objective reporting has become an oxymoron. Freedom of the press has always been more for the freedom to achieve a Pulitzer and the money that goes with it.

Reminds me of an old Reader's Digest page-filler I once saw describing a Trans-Siberian road rally with only two cars in the race, one from the USSR and one from the USA. UPI reported the race results as "the USA car won the USA-USSR road rally across the Siberian plains." Pravda reported the race results as "We are pleased to report that in the Trans-Siberian Road rally, the illustrious team from the USSR came in second, and that the scurrilous team from the USA finished next-to-last."

Morale of the story: It's not that hard to describe lemon juice as lemonade, as most people will never bother to taste it to be sure.
