From the CNS News Service: “jour·nal·ism \'jern-el-iz-em\ n (1833) 2 b: writing

attempt at interpretation. -- Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary; the
Cybercast News Service was launched June 16, 1998 as a news source for individuals, news
organizations and broadcasters who put a higher premium on balance than spin. Study after
study by the Media Research Center -- the parent
