Cardinal rule #1 of journalism: if you have a political affiliation, SHUT UP. Do not tell, show, display, announce, etc. what your political leanings are. Guess the rules don't apply to Washington Post reporter Deborah Howell, who in her article Remedying the Bias Perception, only makes matters worse.
First of all, in the third paragraph, she admits that she voted for Barack Obama.
WHAT? Did you just admit your political leanings? And it doesn't stop there.
She goes on to say how conservatives have a right to be pissed at the press, because most of them are indeed liberal. That's just how journalism is. Sorry, Republicans, but there is a bias. And there's nothing you can do about it.
Woah. Woah. Woah.
I almost couldn't believe what I was reading. Never have I read an article that was so incriminating to journalism. Never. I can't believe this article went to press. For her to come right out and go, "Yup. It's unfair. We could try to fix it, but because we want to change the world, we're still gonna be liberal."
So, now "changing the world" is the excuse for bias?
