Prove it? Tough guy . How can facts be biased if you're just reporting facts?

Joe Friday: Just the facts ma'am

the key is to report every piece of information for the reader or watcher to so that he or she make his own decision about it.

Not to edit it based on the reporters or the editors feelings about the matter, which is what I'm certain the cnn people do all the time along with many other news shows and websites.

Editors will want to edit content for sensationalism, and they do it sometimes without the reporters consent. This I know. CNN isn't the only news media that does it. Fox does it 10x worse. In fact, the only reason why the military (specifically Army) uses Fox News is to plan and delegate any attacks or missions. In fact, one of the SGTs who I work out with was a tanker. His unit was assigned with a reporter from CNN when Operation Iraqi Freedom was just getting started. The CNN reporter falsely reported the unit he was with suffered massive casualties while fighting insurgents. The real story was they held off insurgents, and when the unit found out about it, the unit, and the Army basically kicked the reporter out. He also had the same experience with a Fox News reporter, which is why they limited so many reporters to the front-lines.

'NHS Cashing In On Hospital Car Parking'
"No one is denying the need for hospitals to cover their costs," he said. "But that doesn't mean they can use hidden charges to help themselves out of financial black holes."

We need an urgent review into whether hardworking doctors and nurses and the chronically ill should be paying these charges at all.

Abuse Fears Over Access To Patients' Records
"The authors are also confused, muddling the distinction between paper files, which allow any member of staff to see confidential information, and new electronic systems which strictly control access to those directly involved in a patient's healthcare.

Dental System 'Failing Patients'
Changes in the way dentists are paid mean they effectively have no financial incentive to give appropriate treatment, the Commons Health Select Committee said.
