Journalists by definition are spectators, recorders of events. However, most have great difficulty being objective and worse, feel the need to inject their reporting with personal (or corporate) opinion. This woudn't be so bad were it not for the fact that most journalists are ill-informed, their stories poorly researched, and their credibility doubtful at best. Just look at Iraq: For the longest time most network stories were compiled from Pentagon briefing notes.
Journalists should be made more accountable for the veracity of their reporting...or at least show proof of their understanding of a subject before they weigh in with marginal opinions.
