That just shows that you've only been in the business for 30 years.
That sort of reporting was SOP in American journalism between about
1605 and 1950, and still is throughout the rest of the world with very
few exceptions.  See, for example, the left-wing papers in Britain or
the right-wing papers in France and Germany.

Particularly given the persecution complex that the far right has, I'm
not at all surprised by what you heard on USA.  Their core audience is
the sort of people who consider the /Washington Times/ too liberal for
their taste.
