Yeah. If you don't agree with it, it's obviously dishonest and biased.

When did this exist? Certainly not in my lifetime. If you read accounts of prior elections it is clear that it used to be much worse. In many cases, political parties had a fair amount of control over certain papers.
I think there will always be bias. The only way to get around it is to get your news from multiple, competing sources.

They still do. The New York Times and The Washington Post used to be respectable papers. Now they are nothing more than far left liberal Democrat propoganda rags.

Intentionally editing a report so that it agrees with your agenda is honest?

This was kind of my point. However whenever anyone on this forum quotes anything from Fox News they are scoffed at, ridiculed, or counted as irrelevant biased right wing nuts. We are people who can't think for ourselves and don't have an original thought in our heads and need Fox News to tell us what to think.
But when liberals quote their left leaning sources they believe that it's truthful and represents the whole truth and if you don't agree with it then something is wrong with you.
Please re-read my original post for two perfect examples.

Some years ago at an appreciation dinner for NCCIW volunteers, the editor of the Raleigh Nuisance & Disturber, made the comment he always trains his reporters to tell the readers how to think.

I think Fox & Friends (Oh NO, the horrible, biased, untrustworthy, unofficial mouthpiece of the RNC, Fox News Channel!) had a blurb on it this morning, but I didn't catch it. I'll bet ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, et al didn't run any of it though.

Way back in the dark ages of history, my high school Journalism teacher drilled it into our heads that we needed to be fair in our reporting; not let personal opinions and biases enter into the reporting. That was to be left to the columnists and editorial writers. Man, how times have changed! I'm sure the poor guy is rolling over in his grave now.
