My daughter used to work in telecommunications when she lived in California at several of the big corporate owned stations. She won an Emmy for a news program she wrote and produced. She finally called it quits when she began to be dictated as to what political slant her programs should take in order to reflect the views that management was in favor of. She is quite liberal in her personal views (don't know what went wrong there, maybe mom) but insisted on reporting news in its' true light whether it matched her opinions or not. Everything in that business is about either ratings or sensationalism. With recent developments that we have seen in the "news" business it would be wonderful if we could somehow clone another Walter Cronkite. He was extremely liberal in his personal views but his presentation of the news was straight up and factual.
