Biased Journalism

Finally someone who has a bias against the biased. No you won't read this article in any of our country's newspapers, but I happened to find it in the Lebanon Daily Star. I know that the primary job of the editor is to sell newspapers, but the primary job of the journalist is to report. If they want to create a story or give an opinion they should become novelists. Too many people think that opinions and news are the same thing. They think that commentary on CNN is gospel truth. The truth is that news shouldn't be entertaining. Discussing the news should. People should read news to be informed and read books to be entertained. The local daily shouldn't be a one-stop shop.
