Agreed. I'm not liking this latest trend of saying journalists that attack the government are "biased", especially when they have strong facts to support their reasoning, and it's not just the daily senseless Obama-bashing we see on TV. I think there's a pretty big difference between these two.
I really don't want this to just "fade in the background" like it happened the last time around with the NSA:

- selectodude 13y agoAny journalist that claims to be unbiased (I'm looking at you, Bill O'Reilly) is someone who you should never be listening to. It's all about accepting your biases and making them very clear, allowing the reader to come to their own conclusions. Disclaimer: this requires critical thought, which seems to have fallen out of favor these days.

When in the rest of the world they are regarded as at best a necessary evil or lower than estate agents and politicians in the trust states in the case of tabloid journalists.
