Yes. For most of the history of the Republic, most media was openly partisan.

Only during the Progressive era did the media pretend to be objective.

We are moving back to the healthier partisan media.

More honest, maybe, but not necessarily healthy.

When the only issue was the tariff, and maybe civil service reform, partisanship wasn't such a big deal.

When people disagree about everything, more partisan journalism may not be a great thing.

For good or ill, it is happening.
