The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Contributor: Voting Without the Facts

And on goes the debate. Herbert now asserts that many who voted for Bush are ignorant, thus inferior to those in the know, as he suggests left-leaning liberals are.

The flow will continue as all the excuses are poured out. Ignorance is not a virtue, nor a value. Bias is the real issue, isn't it? Whether liberal OR conservative. Bias is not intrinsically bad, except when it masquerades as truth or is disguised as objectivity, as is often the case in the media.
