Journalists that won't reveal their bias are phonies. So says Lou Dobbs. More on that in a second.
Once again this weblog-- I on Media-- calls and challenges journalists to identify, disclose, declare, reveal, and publish their political biases and perspectives to their audience; to reveal conflicts of interest, in material form with a label attached to their journalism, perhaps as simple as who the journalist votes for; readers deserve nothing less.
Financial reporters already disclose conflicts of interest. It's time for political reporters to do the same. CNN's Dobbs agrees, stating: "every reporter on television, every editor, every reporter in the newspapers and magazines and on the web, there ought to be a little identification like we put on the lower third of the screen for an elected official, D or republican from Iowa or Des Moines or whatever, put that under there, we're journalist, declare yourself."
Dobbs continues "When these news organizations are doing this and trying to pretend cloaking themselves in the mantle of objectivity, you know, they're silly, (trulish), absolutely in my opinion, despicable phonies. They need to step out, they need to be objective or get their opinions out where it can be examined."
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.

Mainstream Media Ignores Speaker Pelosi's Felonious View of Catholicism
Catholic Bishops condemn Speaker Pelosi's interpretation of the Catholic Church's view of abortion. Funny thing, despite the towering importance of the unprecedented rebuttal of liberal leader and Catholic Pelosi, Mainstream News is--well no where to be found. This is a huge story especially with a source such as Denver's archbishop right under their noses and they still choose to ignore the get. Mainstream news-- your liberal bias is showing again. Hugh Hewitt agrees, and pointed out on his radio show that apparently liberals know with certainty when global warming begins but seem stumped as to when the life of a baby begins.
