Shine the light of transparency and accountability on news media by inviting "news-journalists" to voluntarily disclose their political bias. Do you know the political agenda of your news source? Ask journalists who they voted for.

Unmasking the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Known wolves are less dangerous that unknown wolves in sheep's clothing. Media should be transparent. Biases and agendas should be clearly known. In that direction I would have it that newscasters would publish who they vote for. As stated succinctly by Jay Nordlinger in the National Review Online "The anchorman of CBS News should attend Democratic fundraisers (as Dan Rather did). The Supreme Court reporter of the New York Times should march in pro-abortion rallies, and then report on them (as Linda Greenhouse did). The U.N. Human Rights Council should have the most murderous regimes on it. It’s all an aid to clarity." Indeed, it would add to transparency, and the wolves would be known.
