The Fix
A few comments from Chris Cillizza's blog:
* "As a political reporter, it has merit to publicly call yourself a non-voter. It however should be no problem to also vote. The only trick is, to keep an open mind and give fair coverage of _all_ candidates."
* "To consciously decide to not vote in political protest is one thing, to throw it away based on some nonsensical notion of your objective status is another."
* "It is disingenuous to argue that not voting equals neutrality. The reason some people are suspicious of journalists' motives (and let me say that I do not share these suspicions) has little to do with their voting record and much to do with perceived bias in what they write."
> Amy Alexander writes: "Watchdogging reporters and editors on the subject of their voting habits is just empty posturing." (Daily Voice)
