Unlike some of your other readers, I agree with you, I applaud you. I really admire your patience for holding a dialogue with the oblivious. <BR/><BR/>And what's up with the grammar and spelling errors in Hurlburt's letter?

I think you are setting the ethical bar too high. <BR/>If a journalist were on the U of T Board of Governors (or whatever its equivalent is)and the government made a big grant to U of T, would you be concerned about his integrity? Is that very different from a journalist who is appointed to an Advisory Board on something where he has a personal non-pecuniary interest and where the Advisory Board was created under legislation supported by all parties? I see the potential for <BR/>bias in both situations but I think you're being unrealistic to require that only monks who have taken a vow of poverty should be journalists. <BR/><BR/> I concur that it might be preferable that no such personal considerations should apply but frankly, I don't think you need to look that far for potential conflicts of interest. <BR/> Knowing the odd journalist, I think you could probably get more mileage out of asking yourself who is buying them Raptor's tickets or who invites them to receptions with an open bar, if you are looking for potential influence or bias. <BR/> MMP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900996.post-1143162008689250012006-03-23T20:00:00.000-05:002006-03-23T20:00:00.000-05:00Joan I've enjoyed many of your insightful posts an...Joan I've enjoyed many of your insightful posts and comments.<BR/><BR/>BUT I think your way off base on this.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>OmmagOMMAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475151103850378778noreply@blogger.com
