I used to have the naive idea that journalists based their editorial decisions on independent standards that obtained no matter who was involved in a news story.

It may surprise you to know that at one time there were lines that journalists wouldn't cross, at least not if they wanted to be seen as professionals. These days that's getting increasingly hard to believe.

It is beyond argument that the left long ago decided that abortion on demand was a key part of the liberal catechism. It's become the metric by which they measure all politicians.

I've been writing about media bias for 20-plus years, since that day in the early '90s when the scales fell from my eyes and I saw what was happening in my chosen profession. I was managing editor of The Herald-Sun in Durham, and I began seeing things I didn't like, not only in the national media, b

Newspapers never have been hesitant to shame a public official into appropriate behavior. It's a time-honored tradition. Have you ever noticed things like "Sen. Blowhard did not return a phone call," or "Rep. Self-Dealer did not answer an email" in news stories? Those are there not just to let...

Many have pointed to the lack of ethics in journalism these days. Many times I have bemoaned the fact that ethics has been replaced by bias, leftist agenda pushing, and the active hiding of any story that might be harmful to Democrats, the left, and the government.
