Unfortunately he did it to himself because as a journalist it's his responsibility to try and remain impartial. cstanleytech Jun 10 #37

It depends. In this case, he was probably hired under the agreement that he would be impartial. everyonematters Jun 10 #43

Why should he remain impartial Keepthesoulalive Jun 11 #105

The answer isn't to become them, it's to hold them and their supporters accountable for the lies. cstanleytech Jun 11 #106

He told the truth Keepthesoulalive Jun 11 #118

You're confused because I never said he wasn't telling the truth. cstanleytech Jun 11 #122

For so called journalists to remain impartial Keepthesoulalive Jun 11 #123

They didn't fire him until after he made that post though so I'm not sure if bending the knee applies here. cstanleytech Jun 11 #125
