Should journalist be required to announce their bias before broadcasting their reports to the public?

The lack of trust, integrity and competency in reporting the news, media reporting has had a destructive effect on people, communities and lives with little reattribution.

Should it take more than 3 licks to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

...I don't think Al Sharpton has to announce his bias, it pretty much speaks for itself.

Rockne's. Portions are huge and you should have a take out bag.

It's not hard to see bias in journalism. However, it's irrelevant as people want to hear what they want to hear.

We've already jumped the shark where stupid people are now a vast majority of the population. The best we can do is hoard resources and let the trash fight for the remaining scraps.

Yeah, I've been many times. Mantooth is back on his girly diet, so he wants to go somewhere with some healthy-ish options. I do have a gift card to Longhorn, though...which makes me lean that way.

Unfortunately, this a fact and not a sleeper trolling statement.
