I know you think FOX Spews is “Fair and Balanced”. So if they don't report that some kid in New Jersey died from leukemia because his parents didn't have health insurance, would that count as being biased? #19, MikeN

Not reporting something is different than being biased. I know you think FOX Spews is “Fair and Balanced”. So if they don’t report that some kid in New Jersey died from leukemia because his parents didn’t have health insurance, would that count as being biased?

But the Sorbonne is the sort of place staffed by people who are likely to watch and read the news. So if you hold a visible position in the media and claim to have PhD from The Sorbonne, how do you think you won't get caught? :-) Correct me if I’m wrong… But the Sorbonne is the sort of place staffed by people who are likely to watch and read the news.

For example, he had been told of Saddam's son's pulling out a man's teeth, and one person told him in person that he would kill Saddam's son in law when he came back to Iraq. Jordan kept quiet about it, and the guy died. I think with Eason Jordan, he is referring to his admission that he biased the news in Iraq.

For the life of me I have no idea why you included most of these names. Most have been accused of bias by the right wing nut, but lack any veracity. It appears your list is composed of true journalists that haven't been swayed by the NEWS CORP bullcrap. * Scott Beauchamp, Assertions confirmed by fellow soldiers who had been present. Assertions questioned by Pentagon and right wing publications who so happened to have never been there. Also censored by Army. Jayson Blair, Fired with an apology from the NYT. Invented human interest stories. There has not been any bias shown in his stories. Stephen Glass, Fired by his employers who apologized to readers. He also invented human interest stories. There has not been any bias shown in his stories. Mark Halperin, Don't why he made the list. A highly respected and honest man. Eason Jordon, Proved to be correct in his assertions. Pilloried by the right wing nut media for reporting facts embarrassing to them. Doris Kearns Goodwin, Plagiarized some writing early in career. Highly praised for writing ability. Mary Mapes, Railroaded by a biased “report” by CBS. Sacrificed to appease conservative elements. Winner of several awards including the Peabody for Journalistic Excellence. Settled out of court for sizable sum. Jesse MacBeth, A crackpot, delusional failure. Similar to Alexis Debat. Dan Rather, Highly acclaimed reporter and newsman. Many journalism awards. One of the best who's reporting of a TRUE event was smeared by Bush defenders in denial. Eric Slater, Who is he? Nina Tottenberg, One of the best journalists in Washington. Many journalism awards including the Peabody and Polk. Highly respected for professionalism and integrity. #2, John,

I know too many people who complain about how hard they work at their job and they think that that somehow qualifies them for a raise or a promotion. This is a guy who understands how everything really works. He wanted to be a terrorism expert, and he wasn't afraid to lie or screw over a few people to get what he wanted. He's a genius! I think it's time for me to go 'update' my resume. I half admire the guy.
