Unbiased reporting?

Here's how liberal reporters slip in their views on what is ostensibly unbiased reporting.

In an article by Terrence Stutz covering the recent speeches at the LBJ Library, he reports that Bill Clinton "took aim at recent efforts in Texas and elsewhere to restrict voting rights through voter ID laws. . ."

FYI, Terrence, Texas wasn't trying to "restrict voting rights." She was trying to protect voting rights. Big difference, Terrence. If you were truly unbiased, your report would have read:

"Former President Bill Clinton took aim at recent voter ID legislation in Texas and elsewhere. . ."

Your reader doesn't need your input to figure out the reasons behind the legislation. Admittedly, it has been a long time since I had a journalism class. I guess they no longer teach the difference in reporting and editorializing.

"Clinton faults voter ID laws." The Dallas Morning News; April 10, 2014; p. 3A.

From what I've been told, they no longer teach period.
