There is no call for a blogger to be non-biased --unlike the news media which is supposed to be non-partisan. News takes no sides. It just is. However, if you go back to the end of the Tet offensive during Vietnam and read the near glee with which news folk proudly proclaimed that they had an impact on the war, you'll see what may be the point at which the news first turned to propaganda.
You could make the argument that people with a bias have been trying move that errant media ship back on track ever since, but I don't think having a bias for the truth is necessarily a bad thing --or at least not as bad as having a bias with an agenda.
Technology removed the "wilderness" from those voices and has brought us back to the freedom of speech we enjoyed during the years after the founding of this country, before town criers and next-door newspaper publishers were replaced by seemingly unapproachable corporations. If nothing else, it gives us the ability to decide for ourselves from among a variety of diverse opinions rather than bowing at the monolith. - Posted by: hardedge@...
