Reporters are, by their very nature, biased. That is what led them into the field. But if they cannot put aside those biases and ask the difficult questions - even from their personal sacred cows - they have no business being in the business they have chosen. Reporting is about facts, not agenda. Real facts, not made up ones. Boardman's candor and honesty is welcome.

WASHINGTON - The word "Iraq" doesn't appear in former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation letter. Neither does the word "war." In fact, the deadly and much-criticized conflict that eventually drummed him out of office, comes up only in vague references, such as "a critical time in our history" and "challenging time for our country," in the four-paragraph, 148-word letter he wrote to President Bush a day before the Nov. 7, 2006 election.

Those are people who are bright enough to build IED's, EFP's, nuclear plants, rockets, and so on. They can't tell the difference between an unfired round and a spent bullet? Or think the average smuck here can't? They must think we would believe that SUV's are causing the martian ice caps to mel....uh.... That the hottest year was (1934) was caused by backyard BBQ....um..... That the polar bears are going to die of starvation because the penguins......nevermind. I gotta say “Waaaaaitaminit!”
