News you report and opinion you "can" balance and be fair about
Just by saying a "News" network is "fair and balanced" it becomes not news but opinion. News only needs to be reported. News does not need balancing. Anybody that says they are balancing the news means they are slanting it. How could a "News" channel have a slogan "fair and balanced" and not be challenged over it? :shrug: No critical thinking in America that's for sure... You report news not balance it....
