Has been for a long time.
What’s the big deal here? The MSM has been a lying bunch of commie propagandists for decades.
A “biased journalist” is simply a propagandist. It should be a capital felony for a propagandist to pretend to be a journalist. Penalty = death.
I thought I was being reasonably clear, I’m insulting the journalists.
(Well, moreso just telling the truth on them. But they would consider that a vicious attack)
The historical reality is that “journalists” have almost always been partisan. The fiction of objectivity is recent onset and a charade from the beginning.
Yep.
Journalism - Objectivity = Propaganda
The thing is that all newspapers historically have been about the perspective of their printers. Full Stop.What changed about that was: the AP. The AP “wire” is what is now called a “virtual meeting.” The AP responded to questions about its phenomenal, unprecedented, propaganda power by noting that everyone (at that time) knew that the individual members of the AP were all over the place politically. But.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.” - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations.The continual virtual meetings of all major journalism outlets eventually had to create “the MSM” as we know it.It’s an open-and-shut case.
