5. So they can be "fair and balanced"
You know, because as long as reporters present "both sides of the story" then they're doing their job. Nuts to the truth...

8. i like what bill maher said about fair and balanced
its not possible, because sometimes one side of the story is right and the other is wrong, there is no balance and there shouldn't be, that is called objective reporting. We need OBJECTIVE reporting! :)

7. To ward off charges of being part of the biased liberal media
That's the way the biased corporate media operates.
