When did current affair reporters become our mentors? Why do they think that they have the 'right' to tell us what to think, and how to behave? Which politition to slaver over and which one to pour scorn on! It seems that they think that they have a better education, or degree in whatever, that they are smarter than us poor plebs, and therefore entitled to 'correct' our thinking. Why cant they just report the facts without bias? Conduct interviews, ask the hard to answer questions, but leave the comments out. Let us decide what to think...

Welcome to the real world people.
Having worked in the industry, I know that what you get is never unbiased reporting, it is always the editors slant on the situation.
On every subject that comes in there are multiple pages of information.
The editor then cuts and pastes the lines he wants you to hear or even makes something up to get his opinion across.
This then becomes the 'facts' of the situation.
You only have to read the ABC and Andrew Bolt to see just how different the same situation can apparently be reported.
