OMG I LOVE HIM OK

1. He is discussing the inherent biases in all us journalists--there is no such thing as 100% neutrality, but we just have to strive for fairness and truthfulness
2. He comments on DailyKos instead of ignoring it like he could do
3. HE QUOTES WINSTON CHURCHILL IN HIS SIGNATURE that is fucking awesome.

I like how he's defined fairness as "Holding everyone to a certain standard" instead of the definition "Attacking both sides equally."

Much better definition, I think

[dulcet_milieu]

He has said many times what a lot of people forget: that there aren't always two sides to every story.

Try and find a credible physicist to make the case against gravity!

I hate the one-from-the-right/one-from-the-left fake "debates" that the other networks stage. Brian Lamb,
of C-SPAN fame, has tried to avoid it as much as possible for a quarter century, rightly perceiving --
as Keith does -- that it usually produces more heat than light.
