“fact check” is nothing different from claiming that journalists uniquely are “objective.” Journalism is negative, because bad news sells. Journalists know that. Therefore when journalists claim that journalists are objective, they are asserting that negativity is objectivity.Whatever else may be said, that conceit is patently cynical. Cynicism being the opposite of faith, there can be no question of journalism being simpatico with Christianity. And no reason why a journalist would disagree with a socialist.
I'm beginning to think that mocking them as "bloggers", and their "news" organizations as "blogs" to their faces might ruffle more than a few feathers in the Guild.
