Before anyone flippantly says "monster liberal source", note that the Rolling Stone piece here was written to dispel the stories written by the more liberal sources NYT and Wash Post, which blacked out the story.

It's already known that the Republican party likes to stay in power by cheating and scaring the American people.

It's an absolute fact that the only place Bush should be sitting is in a jail cell.

240, You post that as if it's news to people. The fraud of both elections may be news to the American people, ...but for everyone else outside of the USA, this is old news. How they're able to consistently pull it off right in front of your faces is what's so amazing. Bush must be happy Americans are too scared to behave like Hungarians.

Rolling Stone is a solid magazine.

They try to do journalism.

You're too caught up in this "balancing" thing.

Here's my take on it: There's absolutely no need to balance the journalism, ie you don't have to bash republicans for ten minutes if you previously had been bashing democrats for ten minutes.

A journalist should try to find out the truth, and then tell it to the rest of the world. It's not the mission of the journalist to make sure that there is equal bashing. But it is in the mission of the journalist to make sure that all parts are getting their voice heard. Big difference.

The important thing is that the journalists try to stay objective, and also stay true to the mission of keeping those with power honest.

Rolling Stone is repeatedly publishing quality articles.

They're not "left" or "right". Their editorial may be, but the content is just journalism.

Big difference between editorials and the published material.
