At last, free to be biased

The relief that former ABC News anchor Carole Simpson must feel, now that she is a civilian and can be biased (http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/11/19/professor_takes_heat_for_nod_to_clinton/?page=full). Since she's no longer practicing journalism - and only teaching it - I suppose she should be able to ease back into civilian life, which might include campaigning for a candidate. I'm an idealist, though. What's wrong with a journalist maintaining a modicum of neutrality after leaving the business?
