Christina Karaoli Taylor, Multicultural Competency Trainer, CKT Cultural Strategies: “I challenge you [journalists] to stop thinking in terms of objective journalism. We’ll discuss why that’s not really feasible anymore.”
Ron Treviño, CBS Houston News Anchor: “I don’t really care if people trust us or not, we still have to do our job. Whether they trust us is the least of my concerns -- whether they trust me or not.”
Grady Tripp, Tegna Chief Diversity Officer: “At this point, if you’re not listening to a podcast, or looking at a video, or reading any of the information that’s out as far as equality and social justice and race, you don’t care…The other thing is we’re going to be holding stations accountable, right? We’re going to be holding stations accountable because we know it’s important to the organization. KPIs [Key Performance Indicators] are going to change, right? KPIs are going to reflect diversity and inclusion from a representation standpoint.”
Brett Mauser, Former CBS San Antonio Promotions Producer and Whistleblower: “I don’t want to destroy the news. I don’t want anybody to get fired. I want people to change and realize that they are supposed to be objective.”
Mauser: “Teaching journalists at a national level, ‘Don’t be objective.’ To me, that was what journalism always was: to be objective. In my mind, if journalism is not objective, it’s not journalism -- it’s propaganda.”
Mauser: “This mindset has been able to grow and infect what was supposed to be the fourth pillar of society. The journalists are supposed to be our watchdogs. They’re the ones that are supposed to be protecting us from tyranny and supposed to be going out there and finding out and giving us the truth.”

They’re just making it official now.

They stopped doing that years ago.
In my lifetime, I’ve seen the mainstream media descend from “liberal bias” to “shameless propaganda analogous to that of the old Soviet Union.” Nothing illustrates that as much as the way they’ve run interference for the dementia-addled old fart in the White House.
This is why I used to get my news from Rush, and continue to get my news from Free Republic.
The propagandists are weeding out the last remaining journalists. Soon, if they don’t change their ways or leave, the activist corp will turn over the names and addresses of recalcitrant reporters to Antifa, BLM or other shock troops.
Yep. The AssPress is nothing more than Pravda at this point.
A companion to this lunacy is the drive to empty the prisons, eliminate cash bail, reduce or eliminate legal consequences for certain crimes, and defund the police. All that is is a way to escape scrutiny of the huge disparity in crimes committed by blacks versus others. If you never charge black people with crimes or put them in jail in the first place, then eventually the crime statistics will appear to even out. Disparity?…what disparity? It’s like magic.
Decades ago.
I was involved on papers in high school and college. Worked up to various Editor spots.
Senior year I was News Page Editor. I learned what hard new was and how it differed from Features and Ediorial. Many times my advisor would correct me because opinion creeped in when straight news just needed to be cleanly reported. People reading the story can build their opinions off the facts. Further you could always quote a source for extra context or a viewpoint relevant to what was being discussed. Opinon was left on the Editorial page. Features were left on the Features pages.
I became quite good at seeing where opinion filtered into news, where it didn’t belong. In college you could see how the agendas of editors played into rewrites, and how agendas got pushed by what they decided to cover and what they decided not to cover.
But i was only the Graphics Editor a couple years in college, as i didnt have a lot of free time and it wasn’t my major. Still, saw a lot. I knew the future of journalism was in trouble. I thank God I had a great, truly objective Advisor who taught real journalism and reporting in high school. Kept everyone responsible and accountable for what they produced. Just a great great guy.
Brett Mauser has had his eyes closed for a long time. This nonsense started full force in the early 90s.
“If journalism is not objective, it’s not journalism — it’s propaganda.”
Basic stuff.
Liberals are sickos.

I was on my HS school paper for 2 years where I learned the 5 W’s, which I’ve never forgotten. I worked on the news side of the paper because I literally sucked at feature writing, which seemed more like creative writing to me. I also had a kind and fair journalism teacher whom we later found out had been going through brutal cancer treatments the entire time.
obviously they feel even the slightest bit of pretense no longer necessary
Oh Ron you old trickster, most folks haven't trusted any of you in over a decade, so No hay problema dude!

BTTT
Most journalism schools these days, it seems to me, are openly promoting “activism” of the communist sort.
David Halberstam’s The Powers That Be was an influential work in the 1980s, I think that might have been part of it.
These activists look down on the old-school who-what-when-where-why-how journalists, whom they regard as mere practitioners of a craft (not a profession) with no lofty aspirations of changing the world, just poor schlubs with a pencil behind the ear and maybe a camera dangling around the neck.
The nineties was a watershed time what with 24/7 cable news programs getting established, but the shift began long before that time. A lot of it can be traced to Watergate and Bernstein and Woodward. I was in college at that time, majoring in journalism and spending my summer as a proofreader for my hometown paper. After Watergate the journalism majors tended to be ambitious muckrakers who were more interested in finding a “gotcha” which would make them famous. Cable news exacerbated the trend by making reporters millionaires. Nowadays straight news stories are for the flunkies. Features and exposes are where it’s at today.
But, in truth, news reporting has never been objective. It is always tainted by the point of view of the reporter and publisher in how or even whether a story was written. Naive people think journalism is the search for truth. It isn’t. Journalism exists to sell advertising, period. It’s actually better people see that reality than continue to harbor mistaken ideas that journalists are truthful and can be trusted to give the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Christina Karaoli Taylor attempts a jedi mind trick.
No need to tell the truth anymore, .....move along now, nothing further to see here...........
Buahahahahahaha!
If you buy this Marxist trope, then you are already nothing BUT a propagandist.
I despise these people with a radiant, sun-hot passion.
