So, then..... Is it your argument then, that the way to fight bias is by using bias?

The text of your post changed. So I will respond separately to the changes. ...particularly now that's PC in the U.S. dictates, IMO, 'special measures,' by journalists, who themselves are under attack by the RWE Bush admin. Silence the press, is the goal, eh? I have seen no evidence that there is an effort to silence the press by anybody. The vast majority of reporting that I have seen, including direct comments by Bush Jr., has been actively encouraging a view that we should not catagorize all Muslims as terrorists. The piece that you posted was the first that I have seen that actively encourages the press to put bias in their reporting. Because of the Bush admin, many -- not all -- first hand from me as I'm working on a fascinating project right now -- with 'olive-skinned' people who have been U.S. citizens 30+ years -- are experiencing lots of fear ... FBI might pick 'em up, you know ... hiding ... who the eff needs that? Not me, I am against racism, including as a remedy to racism. But I have seen nothing to indicate that the Bush admin has been advocating that at all either. Especially since every time but once, that I have gone through the security checkpoint at the airport, I have been given the full cavity search treatment (hyperbole).
