I recall long ago in school being taught that there is no such thing as objective journalism. The first thing where bias occurs is in what to cover. What you report is already a non objective thing and shows bias. This idea of objectivity is designed to make the consumer of news think he is getting the truth.

Exactly. That's why I keep bringing it back to Lippmann. He kick started the objectivity movement within the journalistic world.

It was a fraud from the get-go.
