Time To Change Neutrality in News Stories?

What am I saying? Should news stories be slanted one way or another to suit me? Well, they are any way, and rarely does their slant suit me or most average Americans. I am talking about stories like this one - Man Beats to death daughters' alleged attacker. So if you read this story, a Texas man is notified by someone, that a man was seen carrying his struggling 5 yr old daughter to a remote area of his (the Father's) Texas Ranch. As he headed in that direction he heard his young daughter's screams. When he arrived at the location, he found the man who had taken his daughter, with his pants and underwear around his ankles, on top of his struggling 5 yr old. At this point he began to beat the man about his head and shoulders. The beating was so violent that the assailant died.... So what is my problem with this story? The dirtbag was caught in the act attempting to rape a 5 yr old girl... Alleged?

 I remember when John Hinckley shot President Reagan. I saw it on TV. He was referred to as President Reagan's alleged attacker.. Really? I saw him do it at least 10 times. He did it. there was no alleged to it.

During the latest conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the liberal media did its' best to be neutral. They didn't want to appear to take sides. They didn't want to take America's side in the conflicts so they gave equal time to Al-Queda and other Muslim extremists. Can you imagine Edward R. Murrow, at the height of the London Blitz, providing equal time to the Nazi's? We weren't even at war with them yet. If that were suggested to him or any other American reporter at the time and they would have thought you mad..

Well, maybe that is the issue.. They have all gone mad...
