No one is unbiased, not even journalists, and the beginning paragraph in this ABC News report on the "Protect America Act" illustrates that well:
President
Bush today issued a stark warning to Congress: Renew the so-called
"Protect America Act," which allowed the government to eavesdrop on
certain phone calls and e-mails without a court order, or aid the
terrorists.
Why on earth would it be necessary to
describe something that is in quotations as "so-called?" The only
explanation is that the writer couldn't write a news article about
President Bush without letting the world know that he didn't like him.
