real journalists benefit greatly from objectivityWell, there goes that premise. Maybe, people are tired of journalists passing themselves as "objective"---as if failing to register with a political party can make someone "objective". Please.
That's the part I don't get. To my thinking we all think we're objective whatever party we belong to. And if that's a fact then the whole 'whether you're registered or not' is a wash; it's senseless. Maybe he was paid by the word.
