I hear you. In many "news" articles there are obvious slants like "Bush fails to justify case for going to Iraq in convention speech", instead of "Bush stated the case for going to Iraq to eliminate the threat that Saddam posed".

I wonder who trains these journalists? I think we should have a journalist accrediation program and a board where complaints can be made. The first lesson all journalists need to learn is that there is the "news", which is supposed to be unbiased, facts only regurgitation of events. Then there is an "opinion piece", which can contain interpretations of news events. But to report the "news" with such obvious bias should be against the journalist code of conduct and punishable by revocation of their license to report.

JMHO.
