For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Why are media liberally biased? Is impartiality from the press either possible or desirable? Last night, NBer zeestephen wrote (paragraph breaks removed):

As much as I enjoy NewsBusters, one constant flaw I see in the reasoning around here is the idea that something called "good" or "fair journalism" actually exists or can be attained. I don't think that's the case. I think every passionate human being looks at the world through a lens constructed of basic principles and basic assumptions. As long as people remain open to new facts, as long as there is a free and competitive market in the world of ideas, I don't think that should be a problem.

As this occurred late, it didn't evoke the kind of discussion it warranted, especially at a website dedicated to exposing and combating liberal media bias. As such, let's discuss and debate this critical issue of our time.
