[QUOTE="neilfii, post: 408445, member: 3821"] NO, a good journalist may have a perspective, but his job is not to sell, but to report. I agree that reporting can be biased or skewed, but it is still to have basis in fact otherwise its not journalism; its sensationalism, you know, like the National Enquirer; unless you happen to think that is journalism as well.
