[Think Tank Citations as] A Measure of Media BiasPardon my cynicism, but I don't see how anything will change the fact that journalism has the propaganda power and the motive to declare itself "ojective," and also has the power and the motive to declare all other institutions to be potentially or actually corrupt in comparison with journalism.
Nor do I see any end to the tendency of opportunists to become politicians, call themselves "liberals" or "progressives," and simply say things to please negative, superficial, unrepresenative journalists.
Exactly, which is why we are better off returning to a Jacksonian type press in which the biases are obvious, acknowledged, and accepted, and where no one pretends to be "factual." We are getting there quickly, I think.
