How can a reporter or editor do what is right when he or she is being told in writing to favor one candidate over the other by ignoring mistakes or exaggerations?

CMPA said that Kerry received the most favorable network news coverage of any presidential candidate "since CMPA began tracking election coverage in 1988."
