And to that point, when one looks at the entire history of American
Journalism, the "objective period" (which I'd argue we are approaching the
end of) is more of a historical anachronism rather than the norm. To Mark's
point, the reality is that the Fox News approach is, in many respects,
closer to the traditional form of the press.

Great discussion all,
