CSMonitor: Tom Regan: My American Experience Archive March, 2005. People in the media, and especially the pundit bloggers out there, should read this.

Tom Regan decries the lack of objectivity in the media these days. I don’t. That’s the wrong thing to mourn for.
If you want to worry about something it’s that the line between opinion and fact has not only become blurry – it has been obliterated.
