One prominent editor was listed as being part of a Palestinian activist group. Another was listed as being in the College Republicans.<br/><br/>Now I don't want to get into the whole "objectivity vs. letting-it-all-hang-out" debate here. One could make a case that the cards should just be layed out on the table. But the point is those students hadn't even given a thought to the fact that putting that on their Facebook profiles could raise issues from readers.
