    To be fair, one must draw the distinction between 'NEWS' and 'COMMENTARIES'
    Commentaries are directly meant to be someones opinions, or interpretations.
    Its the 'NEWS' the objective reporting of factual information, that should
    NOT be biased. I am not personally familiar with Neil Cavuto, but judging
    from what you reported him as saying, it sounded like a commentary, not a
    news broadcast.
