Facts, not balanced with distortions.

Here is a statement from NPR's new reporting ethics handbook. Don't you think Fox should adopt this as well? I suppose if they did, they wouldn't have anything to talk about. NPR Statement: "Our primary consideration when presenting the news is that we are fair to the truth. If our sources try to mislead us or put a false spin on the information they give us, we tell our audience. If the balance of evidence in a matter of controversy weighs heavily on one side, we acknowledge it in our reports. We strive to give our audience confidence that all sides have been considered and represented fairly.";
