Super Tuesday

So I have this pet peeve with candidate endorsements. How is it that a news organization, supposedly unbiased and neutral, can publically back one candidate over another? I have a really hard time believing they are impartial once they've done that. I think that objectivity should trump personal opinion when it comes to the news, but that's just me.

I'm on your side, Caitlin! I think they are trying to redefine the word "impartial"...to what? I don't know. It seems that we must choose which "side" to be on before we can choose which station to watch! On the other hand, we ARE human and it is hard to be impartial...

Yeah, you got my vote on that. But since when are news agencies impartial? I always get suspicious when a person or organization claims to be acting "impartially", even though I'd like it to be true...
