-- this guy doesn't know much of anything about the history of journalism --

He's either bought into, or intends to perpetrate the myth that the press has some constitution "objective reporting" function.

The press has always been advocacy and dishonest, and it was up to the reader to figure out the truth. Now the press is playing this "trust us" game, asserting that they are ethically bound to not mislead the reader. HA! That's the biggest lie (#fakenews) of all.

The boundaries to the 1st amendment freedom of speech and press are defamation, incitement, and state secrets. Other than that, the press can and does lie its ass off.

Bingo. But in the past journalism did not claim to be un-biased. They were honest about who they were and acted accordingly.
