"Dialogue," "confrontation" and "polarization of ideas" can be had on the streets and across the back fence. Who needs college for that?

...Chicago police officials' main complaints was that "reporters give their personal opinions of the events they are covering." About the only mitigating result of Chicago, according to one official, is that networks may now "see that a credibility gap has existed between themselves and the people they seek to inform...and, as a result, go all out to strive for objectivity in reporting...
