McCain Pro Torture - Once again McCain’s actions run counter to his words as he voted against a bill to clearly ban torture so that the White House has no more excuses for ignoring the law. For a man that has first hand experience with torture, his stance is a bit curious. Of course, he has proven to be an easy sell out, to me proving he is unfit to be President.
Journalism and Voting - Jeff Jarvis commenting on how journalists attempt to "prove" they have no bias or opinion by not voting even though how they cover the candidates and the word choices they make seem to prove otherwise. It not only advocates that journalists should vote, as citizens, but they should be transparent in their choices so that the viewers and readers can "judge their roles in the stories they are covering" accurately. It’s a noble idea that journalists will never do because they like the current status quo.
