It seems to me that it needs to be added to the structural biases somehow. If you have any ideas about how to articulate that, I'd love to hear them.

Or, do editors hand back for revisions report than do not fairly represent all sides? Do reporters write their stories, then when they have their ducks in a row, call the target of their stories for an obligatory comment. Or, do editors insist that reporters spend equal time (within reason) talking to all sides so all positions are respresented? I won't lie. I liked to dig up dirt as much as anyone else. But I'd like to think I was fair and that I encouraged reporters I supervised to be fair and complete as well. I know there were times I had to insist.

Although I concur with your final conclusion, I find it interesting that you seemingling displayed non-biased and objective journalism on this subject, even arriving at the point of what could easily be argued the Truth. If you did this on purpose (which I imagine you did) then I also find it ironically humorous.
