"Professions of impartiality I shall make none. They are always useless, and are besides perfect nonsense, when used by a newsmonger; for, he that does not relate news as he finds it, is something worse than partial; and...he that does not exercise his own judgment, either in admitting or rejecting what is sent him, is a poor passive tool."
-- William Cobbett, editor of the 1800s British newspaper Political Register
While I make no claim to being a "newsmonger" I vow to never be impartial here.
