Media Still Doesn't Get It

In a previous post, I criticized a writer who made no attempt to discover whether or not someone (Matt Damon) wsa right, or to find quotes from a source supportive of that person, resulting in an article that was entirely about people bashing someone.

Now I have to criticize an article that desperately seeks balance where none exists.  In an article about S&P's downgrading of U.S. credit, CNN Wire Staff discusses the rebuttal by the Treasury Department, and then goes into the "blame game."  CNN gathered quotes from various politicos from both sides, and left it at that.  But it could've gone the extra step and, you know, read the damn report.  It pretty much implicates the Republicans in Congress for the mess.

Media, it's okay to show that one side is wrong once in a while by pointing to facts contradicting the person who is in error.
