The Health Care "Reform" Act isn't reform. It is something quite different, unless you buy the Left's bottom line that socialism is a "reform" of the free market and our republican form of government. So you can see how the word seems to tilt heavily toward one side of the political spectrum,
We believe any news organization; print media, radio, television, has an independent duty to determine whether the "style" offered up by any legislative body or rule-making body, fits their content.
This posture runs Left and Right and has more to do with journalistic honesty and integrity that anything else. Everyone wants to put their slant on their offerings. News organizations should only oblige them if they agree. By using "reform" the way they do, you implicitly say you agree that this bill s all about reform as well.
Your style should comport with your editorial stance...if you agree with Obama's health care plan then call it what he calls it. But if you don't, let the public know where you stand, Roger.
Fox News Radio and their television division are providing Obama free advertising with a "fact" we think isn't, and most local radio and television stations are following their lead. I'm getting a little sick of hearing the word reform used to describe this bill on my local right wing radio.
Try to do better. We will try to do more to remind you.
