Terrific Hugh Hewitt Interview

Just engrossing stuff - talking about talk radio and the decline of the Main Stream Media. Just a taste:
HH: If you have to have conventions to correct bias, then you're admitting that you bring bias to the newsroom, and that the consumer, allegedly the people you're trying to serve, would be better served by the same transparency that many on the left, for example, demanding of John Roberts, but which journalists refuse. I mean, you just refused to tell me who you vote for president, and I always ask journalists, and they always refuse, and it's always the game, set, match.

TR: Sure, but I think John Roberts would be right to resist that question, too, becuase it...

HH: Oh, he absolutely will, because he's going to a separate but equal branch of government. You are not. You're just...you guys are selling soap. You're selling ink. And folks have got lots of places to buy ink now, and they're not going to buy it from people whom will not reveal the ingredients.
Hugh is obviously passionate about this subject and that passion shines through.

The "TR" was Tim Rutten of the LA Times. This interview is supposed to air on today's Hugh Hewitt Show.
