neo-neocon: Journalism: fact-checking and full disclosure: "Of course, Bisharat is entitled to his position about Palestine, the SSI report--or for that matter, anything else. He's also entitled to state it, and the LA Times is entitled to print it, if they so choose. But, before publishing it, shouldn't the Times check to see whether he's presenting the report fairly? And doesn't the LA Times also have a duty to inform us about Bisharat's extremist agenda, rather than to present him as a neutral and disinterested party? Of course, if the first were true (we could rely on the Times to make sure his article was fair before they printed it) the second (identifying his agenda) would not be necessary--it would be irrelevant."

Neo-neocon slams the LA Times' bias in printing an op-ed by a Palestinian extremist as if he is "disinterested," when he has a clearly stated public position. Which his op-ed is totally biased towards.
