Dave, there are no neutral sources. Some information sources are more reliable than others. Humans make the words. For all their strivings for objectivity, human nature makes it impossible. They decide what's in and left out of the story. Editors are the second line of defence for fairness. C.J. Chivers is a distinguished journalist, his newspaper one of most respected in the world. Your sources wouldn't rate a mention for responsible journalism. Look 'em up.
