It died long before that ... goes back at least to the mid 70s and the constant misreporting of the war in Nam as well as the yellow journalism of the Washington State Fish wars which only reported one side of the battles.

Rock Hudson was gay in the mid 70s - but he wasn't out of the closet.

This is the year that the Media came fully out of the closet. We've made fun of their obvious bias for years on FR, as you both know - but they were able to claim the thin veneer of "objectivity".

They're not going to be able to run back across the line they've crossed this time.

It was out of the closet then and their ‘objectivity’ was fully apparent - but without the internet, most did not see, and those who saw were either silenced or mocked. One might just say that the media’s bias has received more notice because of the internet, but no more.

It is difficult to penetrate the veil unless you are deeply involved with the issue at hand - now with this election more can see.
