Review of Journalists and War


For Sy Hersh alone, this is worthy of broadcast anywhere for anyone who wonders at the quality of information offered by this administration. In particular, I think the plea for the moral foundation of journalistic endeavor is vital in this day and age. The "one-the-handism" that we have used to characterize "fair journalism" is, in the fortuitous words of the late Ron Ziegler, inoperative in this environment.

Sometimes, we don't have to present the so-called balanced view. I don't remember stations presenting Jeffrey Dahlmer's POV on his story; what should be different in this circumstance?
