How To Annoy Me



At some point the “journalist” remarked on an Elvis pin John once owned that is now part of the exhibit.

“Apparently he was a huge Elvis fan. Who knew?”

Who knew? Everybody.

John Lennon liked Elvis till the army ruined him.

John's remarks on Elvis changed with his mood, but it's still sad that an interviewer never knew there was a connection.

This is (some) Americans' view of "balanced" journalism.
To send a Beatles fan would be "bias," as would sending someone who dislikes the Beatles. So the only thing to do is to send someone who has no idea of what they're looking at. It's the eternal fairness of the spotless mind.

So is it biased for a journalist to do a little research before interviewing somebody? You don't even have to go to a library anymore. Just google John Lennon. I'm sure there's something there.
