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...

I think they have the right to express their opinion and support a side as long as they also express argument for the opposition. I dont feel that I am TOLD what to believe and I make my choice based on more facts that just TV. We are smart individuals who have the choice to take or leave what a reporter is telling us, if you dont like it change channels, or even better, turn it off and read a book or go online for more information.
