I think that ship sailed long ago.
Communism intensifies.
Truth be damned.
“I’m a Biased Journalist” is an oxymoron!!!
We enjoy “Outcome Based Journalism” now.
The obvious conclusion is that journalism is equivalent to propaganda
I smell a Soros rat behind this.
I have no problem with this- everyone is entitled to their opinion, they just have to state their agenda and not pretend to be impartial- like they do now
the complete bias in the “new media” has been obvious for decades. If the media tells me it is Wednesday, I check the calendar.
Objectivity is essential to a proper understanding of reality and to making rational decisions. This statement represents a rejection of reason and a surrender to subjectivism and relativism.
It's also laziness. Taking all the hard parts out of any field (including science) is "liberating" but honesty has departed and the field is irreparably cheapened. This is only possible through a deep conviction that there is no truth: nihilism, not advocacy. And yes, it's been going on for a very long time.
Hey hey, ho ho,
Objectivity has got to go!
Hey hey, ho ho...
This paves the way for legitimacy of entertainment shows purporting to disseminate the ‘news’.
Alinsky’s ultimate goal was to infuse activism into every aspect of western culture. The kenyan is a devotee and accomplished said goal.
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)
There has been no objectivity in the mainstream for a long time. It’s all propaganda.
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
