I would think this, "The press abandoning its primary role of providing unbiased accurate reporting and instead choosing to reflect the thoughts and political opinion of the author of the article and or the editorially board of the publications." Would express my dis-approval. Or I suppose I could hold my breath until I turned blue in protest if that makes you feel better but my mother instructed me not to do that in the same speech as jumping off the bridge talk. LOL<BR/> As to a business report doing it, why is that any different than a political reporter slanting or to use your words peddling disinformation to the public any different. Are you now advocating that "teh fwee mahket!" should be our trusted source for information because that is where big business goes to base decisions, I freaking hope not.<BR/> Snaps his fingers in front of Ti-guys eyes and gives him a slap to the back of the head. Get real Ti, what is wrong is wrong, no matter what forum it comes from. You cannot criticize one forum with out criticizing all. When I see you fairly comment on the bias reporting from the Toronto Star and Globe and Mail to the same extent you do the National Post and other right leaning media sources, I will accord you some creditability on this issue.Burton, Formerly Kingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539157151309542216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-23776147748884803682008-02-03T12:26:00.000-05:002008-02-03T12:26:00.000-05:00"Peddling disinformation to inform business decisi..."Peddling disinformation to inform business decisions is disastrous.
