CNN Fairness

In this article about the Affordable Care Act and Obama apologizing, they only quote and cover the democratic side of the story. They never once talk about a republicans opinion on what Obama had to say. Although this article isn't about them, you need to cover every side of the story. One of the 7 yardsticks is fairness. This guidelines for journalists measures whether they cover all sides of a story or not. Especially when writing about politics, they need to get every possible side o the story which they rarely do. News stations never talk to liberals or conservatives, unless they're supporting that specific party. On other stories however, they usually do a good job. There is still room for improvement though, so they need to make sure they always cover every side of the story and stay unbiased.
