That's what I was referring to as well Raphael... When I took journalism classes (I was a communications major), we looked at news (TV, Magazine, Paper, etc) and deconstructed it. News is supposed to be unbiased and only report facts. The exception to the rule is the "Opinion column" where you can go on a rant and it's acceptable because it is known that it's an opinion.

In order to keep the Integrity of the event being reported intact, the reporter must remain objective and allow the listener/reader to come to their own conclusions. Is it possible to remain completely unbiased? No, but it's the goal a reporter should constantly strive for.
