- Rancorous handling of a tired issue. May 1, 2004. Kirkus. Book reviews. Bozell doesn’t give readers, listeners, or viewers much credit for having intelligence enough to discern bias, which may be why he doesn’t address the crucial question of competent reporting by journalists knowledgeable about the area they cover—the best way for news consumers to gain informed perspectives..
