mep- That quote was cited by Ray from a MOVEON advertisement. i know. but i wanted to address it and i wanted to post my spiel to you because i thought you might like it. ;-) "there is no journalistic code of ethics... no oath or obligation to be either fair or balanced."- elpolvo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I wonder what the Deans from Journalism schools would say. you're right. there are journalistic codes of ethics. i found a good one here: spj.org these codes are good guidelines for professional journalists but not a requirement for actually "being" a journalist. a "degree" in journalism is not required either. that's fine by me. i say, "caveat tabloideus emptor." ...commercial press is in business to make money. PBS news might be an exception. PBS is not commercial press... they have benefactors other than advertisers to please... (read - other financial pressures) expecting absolute truth from "the media" is like asking 100,000 artists to paint a portrait of the universe and expecting to see 100,000 identical canvases. -elpolvo
