What about truth vs. objectivity? Recently NPR news did a report about the destroyed CIA tapes where they characterized them a showing "Strenuous Questioning." I would have thought that "torture" would have been a more accurate, if also more inflammatory description? Does trying to appear "objective" sometimes get in the way of telling the truth?

Does Mr Schorr believe that the press as a whole is liberal [as the Right insists]?
