The difference is that many newspapers let you know outright where their partisan loyalties were (there was an editorial declaration that a newspaper was aligned with one party or another). Today, the Left-wingers chant “We’re objective. Trust us!”

Exactly right. They pretend they're objective while holding up dishonest Cronkite as some kind of standard. What a joke.

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.
