Look, I used to really like Glenn Beck, his conspiratorial tendencies for the past 8 years or so have driven me nuts. However, he is completely open about where he comes from, he is biased and admits it. He doesn't claim to be some neutral arbiter or a journalist. The problem arises when people claiming to be journalists, or neutral (NYT, facebook) change stories based on their own biases without stating what they really are. NYT Opinion, or editorial board, sure, fine, have biases. But the front page should not be biased, neither should facebook. I want journalists in the vein of Tim Russert, Chris Wallace or Lisa Ling. If they have biases they certainly conceal them extremely well. Chris Wallace is not afraid to ask hard questions of politicians, especially of conservatives, despite being on Fox News. Lisa Ling is amazing too, she may not ask tough questions per se, but watching her be so unbiased/open with people like drug dealers, polygamous families or pedophiles is rather impressive. She is legitimately trying to see the world through her subjects eyes, as revolting as that may be for 80-99% of the population.
