::A problem with that is the fact that Gotcha Journalism really doesn't have a concrete definition, so their is no way to interpret it except with one's own biases. Studies have shown that people with strong political leanings tend to interpret news to be biased against their particular opinion, even if a liberal and a conservative look at the same news footage they can both interpret it as biased against their own positions. A conservative, therefore, is less likely to view a conservative journalist as engaging in gotcha journalism, and vice versa, making any kind of comparison pretty useless in an objective sense. Besides, who wants to wade through all of the MSNBC/CNN dreck looking for "gotcha" questions? [[User:RachelW|RachelW]] 16:05, 19 January 2012 (EST)
