No one is free from likes and dislikes. But when they drift into bias and prejudice there is trouble, especially so for the journalist.

The pro-life reporter has to be fair in his coverage of the Planned Parenthood meeting. The journalist leaves his personal feelings at the door—and removes his shoes there, too—when he covers the opening of a local mosque.
