“And, in the end, what good is a ‘journalist’ without objectivity?”

Objectivity is highly overrated. It may be extremely difficult to find in reality.

I prefer to know a sources biases, and to have them strive for honesty and truth instead.

I don't know.

It seems to me, if a journalist cannot bring objectivity to the debate, it hardly matters what ELSE he/she says or does correctly!

If they are not objective, then they make themselves part of the issue.

That doesn't work. It would be like using a camera with a cracked lens. Things become unnecessarily distorted and you have to guess what the reality IS.
