This could be why Wiki Leaks exists....doing the job that investigative journalists used to do.

have compromised the integrity of the nation's fourth estate...the whole reason that journalists have a special kind of place in American society is because they're entrusted with this job to kind of keep the powerful honest and to speak on behalf of the population

Both of those are ahistorical modern inventions.

The so-called "fourth estate" does not have, and never has had, "integrity". Journalists don't, and shouldn't "have a special kind of place in American society". And they are not "entrusted...to speak on behalf of the population".

Other than that, great article /s.

He is right. There is no objectivity in the news media.

I certainly don’t need an obviously good article to tell me how poorly today’s media is.

CNN isn’t even trying to fake impartiality now. Look now at the CNN headline: “Clinton campaign says Trump is dangerous”.

I couldn’t stand him on CNN but over the last few months at FNC I have come to enjoy his comments. He is a breath of fresh air on the morning show after listening to the never ending PC estrogen brigade FNC parades on it’s channels. Wretchen Carlson, Dana Perino, Ana, Shep Smith...

Agreed and I must say; Dana Perino turned out be my biggest disappointment of all. She and the others you mentioned should just slither on over to MSNBC or Clintoon News Network and take Herralldoe with them. He is the biggest jackass of the bunch.

I could not agree with you more. She is just awful and really always has been, from her first days on the program.

She’s a snob and that probably doesn’t help because she’s become so used to purified air.

She’s a trumpbuster from day one, and only stopped attacking him when her (as she claimed) email started overflowing.

Blinded by her own elitist beliefs. Just awful.

I know a 30ish J-school grad. He was not taught to be objective and thinks it his job to shape opinion.

Journalism is not supposed to be unbiased. That is a fabrication of the WWII generation.

Well, it's what we expect, and what they assert they are...it seems that conflicts with your viewpoint.

They assert they are unbiased detectors of intolerance.

Because I understand history.

I’ve also worked in the belly of the beast. And I married a reporter who nowadays throws stuff at the TV.
