Howard Kurtz has struck again. He's always an interesting writer to me since he preaches objectivity, but seems to be one of the most subjective authors I read in the media. 

Writing things like 'Among those auditioning: acid-tongued congresswoman Michele Bachmann, bombastic billionaire Donald Trump, and pizza mogul Herman Cain. Jon Huntsman? Ron Paul? Rand Paul? Sure, take a number' and 'The GOP has always handed the nomination to the next old guy in line (John McCain, Bob Dole, Ronald Reagan); or the vice president (Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush); or a close relative (George W.)' I find it difficult to consider his writing to be unbiased. What kills me most is the hypocrisy of his work. He makes his buck from scrutinizing and accusing other people of reporting with bias and then goes home and does it himself.
