As most of you are aware, "objective journalism" is a fiction. But I always enjoy the ways in which sly reporters, who work for supposedly "objective" papers, sneak in their little jabs. Witness this quote from the currently leading story at the NYT, about the Supreme Court's hearings on health care:

Among the handful of opponents was Keli Carender, a 32-year-old activist from Seattle who was an early Tea Party organizer.

“If we know how inefficient and inept the government is, why would you want it to make this decision for you?” she said, holding a yellow “Don’t Tread on Me” flag and wearing pink-rimmed sunglasses.

Ms. Carender said she received health insurance through her job, but that if the bill was allowed to stand, she said she would drop the policy in protest.

“I am not going to trade my health for my freedom,” she said.

"I am not going to trade my health for my freedom" may be the non sequitur of the year.
