If viewers can't expect you to at least try to be "objective," why else watch you?

If reporters can't learn to be "objective" in their 4 years of Journalism school, why go to such a school in the first place?

The notion of "fair" is beyond belief. Hitler undoubtably thought he was "fair" to the Jews and Gypsies.

"I'm a little concerned about this notion everybody wants us to be objective," Jennings said.

No wonder FNC's "Fair and Balanced" concept has taken off like a rocket!

Jennings, Mr. Canadian. He may be a U.S. citizen now, but he's still a Canadian in his thinking.

Snippets of a quote found in Jaques Barzun's "From Dawn To Decadence" p. 684....notice the date!

"The main business of the Press, supposedly is news."
"....the newspapers print an awful lot of phoney news. News is what the Press produces. Most of the world's "news" is manufactured by the press itself...."
"A large part of the Press has in effect abandoned the pretence of dealing exclusively with facts." - T.S. Mathews (1959)

Beating a dead horse, I know. Old media has been dying for awhile, I'd say.

Jennings didn't finish high school, so forget about 4 years of J-school.

If you tailor your news viewing, as some people are now doing, so that you only get one point of view, well of course you're going to think somebody else has got a different point of view, and it may be wrong," Jennings said

Exactly. When the public caught on to the liberal slant--and found they had a choice with internet and Fox news--they voted with their feet, leaving the MSM.

Ok!!!! here is the reason the media keeps saying the country is so "divided." Because NOW they are being openly questioned about their objectivity by enough voices that are loud enogh to be heard over their propaganda. The "alphabets" (ABC,CBS, NBC) no longer have a monopoly on the news media. They no longer have the influence to dimiss those who disagree (alternative news sources) as "kooks". What we are seeing is a long overdue demise of their agenda.

"CRASH-N-BURN SNOTTY MEDIA ELITES!!"...your ratings are only going to get worse.

"If you tailor your news viewing, as some people are now doing, so that you only get one point of view, well of course you're going to think somebody else has got a different point of view, and it may be wrong," Jennings said

Jennings is describing his own viewers.

Sanctimonious liberal snot.

DUH?!

Heheh, I love the passage:

"The problematic response, Jennings said, is the way people tailor the way they consume news.

"If you tailor your news viewing, as some people are now doing, so that you only get one point of view, well of course you're going to think somebody else has got a different point of view, and it may be wrong," Jennings said."

Gee. I always felt better informed and more grounded in my beliefs when I got all my accurate news from ABC News.

BWHAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAA! Can you believe Jennings? The man believes he is a middle of the road moderate!
