Exactly.  No problems with the constitution if that would be occurring.

Yet newspapers are generally loaded with opinion reports, [and are signed by the writers.] Very selective, partisan stuff.  Even among reports that are labeled as news.   So this generally means newspapers are the most polarized.  Thus can seem "further out" than TV.  But the minute by minute style of electronic reporting should be very close to a Joe Friday style -- just the facts man....  A goal along the lines you've mention above, and that I'd also endorse.   

And seems closer to public utilities situation.

My two cents
