Why are newspapers allowed to back a political candidate, but TV news networks are supposed to be "unbiased"?
I realize there are plenty of news channels that are biased, but why is it so important that New York Times or Los Angeles Times backs a specific candidate, while NBC or CNN isn’t supposed to do so? I’m not supporting any one group; I was just wondering about this today.
