As you’re so educated then you’re aware that press credentials are granted by government agencies as to whom can be given access to press briefings. Yes, we all have the right to be reporters and to write at speak our beliefs and offer commentary (for now) and it’s even more important today to do so as certain groups and individuals are claiming themselves the sole arbiters of truth and fact and trying to silence any opposition.

And yes, there ARE objective sources. That’s the point of JOURNALISM - to log and report the events (that is, to journal) of the day in a FACTUAL matter.

 Half the truth is often a great lie. - Benjamin Franklin
As long as that is true, and as long as you don’t report everything that happens, objectivity will be a laudable goal - not a guarantee.
