Bullcrap.  listen to NPR.  They are the anti-foxNews and they are just as boldfaced about putting a liberal spin on it as Foxnews is about putting a conservative spin on it.

THE DIFFERENCE...  FOXNEWS IS A COUPLE OF YEARS YOUNG... NPR HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR DECADES

This is how things have always been done in this country: We have

new trend -- reporters used to try to be objective.
      

No, they never actually did that, they just started claiming to be
objective about 90 years ago. Before that they admitted to being
subjective.
    

Objectivity is a goal, for some people.  Reporters *try* to be objective.
Do they claim to achieve perfect objectivity?  I don't think so.

It seems to me that things have changed with Fox News.  We used to make a
clearer distinction between news and opinion.
