Repeat After Me: Journalists Are Impartial by Brian C. Ledbetter on 16-Dec-2008

And if you still believe that, I'd be delighted to introduce you to my friend, the tooth fairy.

By the way, did I see that attribution right? Why yes, I believe I did:

A Lebanese journalist holds a sign reading "The atomic shoe", during a gathering to demand the release of Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi, at the journalist syndicate in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2008. Al-Zeidi, the journalist who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush, was handed over to the Iraqi judiciary, an Iraqi official said Tuesday, a move that ordinarily signals the start of criminal proceedings. (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein)

Irony cleanup, aisle two.

Thanks for the link, Charles!
