When a news items is simple propaganda Item? I would argue that the pact between TV Viewers and Newspapers readers to the reporters is that at the minimum the fact will be right. When a reporter decides to sacrifice the facts on the altar of his ideology he is betraying the viewers’ trusts.

Brad Feld describes a case of senior member CNN doing exactly this when raising a national security flag while attacking the Lenovo – State department deal. Brad points to the simple facts that the Lenovo’s CEO is American citizen and that the factory is in North Carolina, a facts that any reporter will check before going on the air in national TV.

The issues Free Market and National Securities deserve a serious public discussion. the questions aren’t simple and involve many aspects, which CNN viewer will never learn about.
