Real title should be; "NSA asks Republican held congress to pass bill allowing unauthorized monitoring of US citizens and wants money to hire fulltime citizen spies."

Nothing to worry about. Go on folks. Watch Friends or The Office or Games of Thrones whatever. Democracy and privacy is not at stake. We are just realtime collecting all your emails and passwords.

Congress isn't held by the Republicans, only the house is.

The real title should be neither that or what it is, since they are both clearly biased. Instead, it should state as plainly as possible, the facts. Opinions and analysis can follow, as long as it’s separated from facts.

We are far past the point of no return of good journalism. Journalism is dead. We are at the "Please don't get worse." stage where damage control can only be done, if the forces fighting corruption are more vocal than those commiting crimes and corruption.

So yeah, fuck neutrality.

Real title should actually be “NSA asks Republican held congress to pass bill allowing unauthorized monitoring of US citizens they are currently illegally doing”.
