CiC, perhaps the spirit will move you to entertain carmody's rhetorical question:
And what’s it to Politico if CNN goes down the drain? Why would non-partisan journalists care which cable networks are winning the ratings games?
(A nebulous notion conflating baseball with football in the name of sports dances in milhous' mind.)

Well, of course it is arrogant of anyone to claim that they are above being labeled. If you would be objective, the battle you must fight first is with your own self interest, which so easily can convince you that what is convenient for you is what is right for everyone else. The instant a journalist claims to be objective or non-partisan, he has at that moment surrendered to his own self interest without firing a shot and is entirely subjective.
