FYI —

News Consumers See Balance as Part of Accuracy. The Press? Not So Much.

What a new Pew survey tells about the state of the media. (The Dispatch)

A personal note on the above:  The old Fox News had it exactly right:  Reporting should be fair and balanced.  The only major newspaper I know today that consistently hits that mark is The Wall Street Journal.  I try to always be fair and always be balanced.  Readers of both the Journal and this newsletter need, however, to understand that when we reach out for comment — and we sometimes do it at inconvenient times — if we don’t get a response, we’ll publish the story anyway.  But we’ll include a line that X didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.  And when we do get the comment, we’ll report that.
