Is it too much to ask that reporters add just a little balance when interviewing talking heads?
Maybe when the person says 61 Guantanamo detainees have returned to the fight. How about a statement that some individuals and organisations are disputing that number?
How about when some says that tax cuts are going to people that don't pay taxes. Maybe a reporter could point out that these people do pay taxes. They pay Payroll Taxes and Sales taxes and property taxes?
Just maybe when someone says that Obama's Inauguration cost way more then Bush's An interviewer could point out that the Obama's total includes security, Bush's total does not.
Is it to much to ask that Reporter hold their subject to certain amount of honesty and not just provide an uncritical platform?
