Unlike the j-schools Tucker Carlson so understandably derides, we actually try to train young people to report, like Alex J. Nitzberg, for example

You have to salute this guy for not only seeing this tragic state of affairs but pointing it out for others to see.

Bravo, Tucker Carlson.

There is no journalism anymore.
They have become the Ministry of Propaganda.
The narrative has no relation to the truth.

[Vermont Lt]

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

The reason that there were so many different newspapers is that each had a targeted audience. Since FDRs time the myth of the unbiased media was promoted. It was a sham then. It is a sham now.

Go back and read stories from the 1850’s or so. You will see a much more raw image of the media.

If you expect bias, you won’t be disappointed when you see it.

Didn’t we learn with the DNC email leaks who they work for?

Carlson, a member of the Fox News team and a veteran journalist who co-founded the Daily Caller, asserts that many journalists bask in the presence of "the powerful" and are "…afraid to challenge anybody in power."

Uh no Tuckie... they're perfectly fine challenging people in power, as long as they are conservative and refuse to support the media scum's perverted, demented, delusional world view. Interesting that he refused to state that single, solitary irrefutable fact...

[Leep]

I wish the media were merely biased.

[Biggirl]

Telling it just like it is.

[lodi90]

There is no longer any attempt at gathering facts and real journalism. The media just repeat Clinton campaign talking points. As loud as possible.

[Mr. Douglas]

I get very little of my news from the MSM. It’s all internet, international and easily verifiable through cross-referencing stories.

I’m embarrassed for the MSM when I see what they are reporting and compare it to what I already know.

And yeah, that includes FOX.

The media has become nothing more than a Liberal propaganda agency. That is the news, film, ‘entertainment’, print, etc... all of them!!

If you only speak one view and/or, if you only speak about the opposition (if at all) in the most derogatory and biased terms... that is, by definition, ‘propaganda’.

There is not the least objectivity in reporting the news like that or in producing film, newspapers, or anything else in such a flat and one dimensional vein... as if everyone in the audience is 9 years old..... PLEEEAAAASE!!

It has been like this for a very long time. Conservatism has, to its own detriment, continued to follow the rules while Liberals do their end run on the facts and the protocols with impunity!

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

[Jim Noble]

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.

[Parley Baer]

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

[combat_boots]

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