		<description>Well intentioned, I&#039;m sure, but surveys of multiple episodes and citations of ridiculousness are far more instructive about what MacNeil/Lehrer actually does.  What they do on-air is far more important than what they say their guidelines are.

I found &quot;macneil site:fair.org&quot; to be a good query if you want to learn about news bias, the preposterous health care &quot;debate&quot; the show had with Dr. Steffi Woolhandler about universal health care (which, in 2007, &quot;CBS&#039;s own poll of Americans had found 64 percent supporting the view that the federal government should &quot;guarantee health insurance for all&quot; -- with 60 percent approving of higher taxes to pay for it. A CNN poll found 64 percent American support for the idea that &quot;government should provide a national health insurance program for all Americans, even if this would require higher taxes.&quot; &lt;a href=&#039;http://www.counterpunch.org/cohen12212007.html&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;according to Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon&lt;/a&gt; with similar echoes going back decades).</description>
