Scott talks to Harvard Professor Thomas E. Patterson about how reporters may not have a liberal or conservative bias, but do have a bias for a good story. (Thomas E. Patterson "Out of Order: How the Decline of the Political Parties and the Growing Power of the News Media Undermine the American Way of Electing Presidents" Alfred A. Knopf. 1993)
