Wouldn't that be just the opposite of what everyone always accuses Journalism of? Only showing one side of the issue?

To be completely balanced what they would've had to do is bring out people who said "HAZING IS GREAT !!" They didn't do that, or even bring up the fact that some groups don't haze and do good things for their college communities, so, IMO, to bring out people who say "ban greeks at all college campuses" which is what quite a few people interviewed did say toward the end of the show, wasn't balanced.
Coverage of the actual incidences reported on was fairly balanced, his conclusion about the whole hazing problem was not.
