I do think their status as corporate employees influences their behavior -- that's exactly why I'm focusing on it. I'm not blaming the corporation completely; I'm holding accountable the toady that works for the corporation. The corporation is to blame only in the sense they allow it to happen and maybe even encourage it for the sake of ratings.

Your interpretation of how to distinguish news from commentary leaves much to be desired. Sam Donaldson, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Bill O'Reilly, and many other network bozos sit alone at a desk reading from a script/teleprompter. These are the very ones I'm complaining about. The others couldn't be mistaken for news any more than Cher could be mistaken for an Oscar winner. Oh, wait...

Thanks for the definition of editorialization. I purposely use that phrase because it, alone, best describes news outlets sanctioning fools to spew political invective as opposed to the "news" those very people claim to report.

Facial tics don't bother me at all... my remote hand is faster than Mr. Donaldson's disturbing mannerisms.
