Hillary’s Suppressed Thesis on Her Marxist Mentor Saul Alinsky .. It was during Alinsky’s involvement in organizing the Chicago Seven riots that Hillary Rodham became actively involved with Alinsky..
In a 1993 interview with the Washington Post, Rodham summed up her thesis by saying, “I basically argued that Alinsky was right..

Lies have always had a father, and now a Mother!
For most of our history each town or region had two papers, usually one conservative and one ‘progressive’. Look at how many papers are still called ‘The ** Republican’, or my local one, the Press Democrat.
The whole idea of ‘objective’ journalism was a 70 year failed thought experiment.
Most conservatives don’t like ‘objectivity’ any more than libs; hell look at FR- the second someone doesn’t like something it becomes ‘Fake News’, and thus no more discussion is necessary (obviously the more someone calls something ‘Fake News’, left or right, the more one needs to look at the story)
When it comes to strategy and tactics, he was pretty damned spot on. It is heartening to see how many of us on the right are using his tactics. One thinks of Patton shouting about Rommel ‘I read your damned book’.
I'm reminded of the scene with the newspaperman in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, where he drunkenly boasts of the press writing the "truth" as it sees fit. This problem is like a deep infection, causing a host of other problems that we are now experiencing.
There has been no objectivity in the mainstream for a long time. It’s all propaganda.
That scene makes my blood boil. “When the truth conflicts with the legend, print the legend”, or something like that, as if that bit of mendacious sentimentality were admirable. Meanwhile the actual hero is lying in a box, to go to his grave unknown. A rather bitter message.
LIAR!
sorry... didn’t read your comment... just jumping to the FR conclusion without spending all that time reading... blech...
hehehe
you’re not a liar.
Advocacy journalism is the new touchstone in the media even as polls show that trust in the media is plummeting.
****************************************************************
Yes “polls” but an even more telling and “objective fact” is the TV News Rating Services. “Liberal” outlets like CNN are in the RED ZONE financially and in danger of going out of business. True desperation has set in to CNN managers.
Suits me that Liberal “Journalists” want to declare themselves free of any obligation to objectivity. Hell, we’ve all witnessed that in practice by them for decades. Glad to hear them tell the truth for a change.

Advocacy for pursuing objective truth is great in journalism. Advocacy which requires objective truth to be sacrificed is not.
News Leaders Call for the End of PRETENDING Objective Journalism

Jeff Bezos bought the WaPo ten years ago when the paper faced bankruptcy.
A brilliant move by Bezos.
By keeping it afloat and letting the Marxists print their garbage, Bezos’ Amazon empire is safe from the threat of anti-trust.
“ I think that ship sailed long ago.”
Yeah - seems they’ve complied in every way possible and then some
It’s not even debatable but rather the degree to which news has been corrupted
And hear I thought there job was the provide the facts. Silly me.
Objectivity never actually existed in journalism. That’s right from the source.

Keep believing that crock and 5 will get you 10 you believe in climate change too.
Difference is that before, most cities had more than one newspaper, one generally was more conservative than the other, so you had a choice. In most cases, that choice doesn’t exist anymore.
“Saying that “Objectivity has got to go” is, of course, liberating. You can dispense with the necessities of neutrality and balance. You can cater to your “base” like columnists and opinion writers”
You also can get rid of expensive humans and let AI write your propaganda.
nope, and not even a reach around...
