I only brought it up because of your broad statement disparaging Heritage. I was attempting to point out that while there might be a deliiberate slant to policy centers there is also some good research. That brings me to another point. I recently watched "Shattered Glass" a movie that dealt with the New Republic and its disgraced reporter Stephen Glass. I'm now wondering what the standards are for journalists when they write a story? I would assume direct source testimony, witnesses, and prior published stories, but I'm not quite sure. I'm fairly certain that there is a large degree of choice in how a story is written and its efficacy.
