Foxnews.com, MSNBC.com, and CNN.com (three common online news sites), each have articles regarding the FBI's improper acquirement of citizens' personal information while seeking data in terrorism investigations. I tip my hat to journalism! The fact that a liberal, conservative, and rather moderate website reported on the same issue, in fairly the same way, is how journalism is supposed to work.
This example represents journalism's purpose of checks and balances not only against the government, but also against each other. Not only have they published the information, but in my opinion they did it in an unbiased perspective as well. This is the first time I've read an article on all three sites and haven't felt the sway of either political side.
