Excellent points cIc.

That is, if [perfect] objectivity is impossible--and it is--claiming to be objective is hypocritical, and anything but objective.

This is perfectly true, as journalism is properly understood.

Because as properly understood, journalism is superficial entertainment which systematically filters out the unvarying things which conservatism nurtures. Journalism emphasizes only the reasons to eat the seed corn, and not the reasons for gratitude for our blessings or for passing them on to future generations.
