The other night I watched for the first (and probably last) time CNN's Parker-Spitzer show, a rather pallied talk program starring the former Governor of New York/whoremiester Elliot Spitzer. They ran a segment on Steve Jobs' medical leave, asking Business Insider honcho Henry Blodgett to explain what this means to the tech markets. Its a generally harmless piece, but watch the screen in the first 30 seconds or so. As is usual on CNN, a few biographical factoids about the guest are displayed, including the fact that Mr. Blodgett is banned for life from being a stock trader, and that host Elliot Spitzer indicted him and extracted a $2 million fine for stock-jobbing. Yet there they were being as friendly as possible to each other. Is CNN running an on-air rehab clinic, or does America actually provide a second chance?

My opinion is that objective journalism is no longer a relevant part of American society.
The "owners" of mass media have their own hidden agendas and producers direct accordingly.
I've been censored more than once.

"Morning Sam." "Morning Ralph."
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
