Until journalism returns to fairness and objectivity, America will remain divided. And Americans will keep losing trust in the “news” business.

Not going to happen.

What we really need is a robust media to counter the "Progressive" Media.

The "Progressive" Left is doing everything it can to prevent alternate media.

The worst thing that ever happened in journalism education was the promotion of the idea that journalists should “make a difference” rather than providing dispassionate reporting and analysis devoid of a point of view.

“Making a difference” makes each so-called journalist approach every story through an agenda, and craft the reporting to promote that agenda.

After that, the only thing necessary to kill real journalism was to instill leftist ideas for them to use to filter everything.

Unfortunately today, the problem exists on the right too, as some feel it is necessary to counter the pervasive leftist propaganda. The result is that neither side is seen as fair or trustworthy. Journalism should never be judged by whether you agree or disagree with it, but only by whether it is true and complete.
