There are no neutrals. A domestic neutral is ignorant. A foreign neutral is a liar

We all have a bias it comes with being human. However there are some professions where we need to put our bias aside and attempt to be neural. A judge for one but certainly journalist should be neutral. The fact that they are not does not mean it should not be a goal.

At some point in time the news media decided they would not be neutral observers but active participants in molding our nation into their ideals.

But you missed my main point.

If the main stream media really wanted to be a force in our culture other than the propaganda arm for one political party they would become a neutral observer.

Reporting the facts regardless how it bad one side looked bad or the other side looked good.

If Todd was perceived as a fair and neutral observer, his label of “falsely” would carry a lot more weight with a lot more people.

So my basic point is that the news media become less effective in changing people’s views once every one knows their reports on President Trump boil down to ORANGE MAN BAD, DEMOCRATS GOOD.
