"Genuinely objective journalism not only gets the facts right, it  
gets the meaning of events right. It is compelling not only today,  
but stands the test of time. It is validated not only by 'reliable  
sources', but by the unfolding of history. It is journalism that ten,  
twenty, fifty years after the fact still holds up a true and  
intelligent mirror to events." - T.D. Allman.
