#1 Busted.

With the Palin VP selection episode especially, there's crystal-clear evidence of attempts to create a party line / circulate a talking points memo among journalists who are supposed to report upon, not slant, one of the most important stories of 2008.

Not criminal, but a major betrayal of public trust nonetheless. Broadcast journalists ought to be investigaetd by the FCC for this behavior.

#5 "Journalists don't take an oath of any kind do they?"

Apparently it wouldn't make any difference if they did, jim.

They obviously don't mind lying like a rug. :-(
