The end of objectivity…
Or written confirmation that it never existed?
“This week a new nail was driven into the coffin of the notion of journalistic objectivity. The culprit? The Washington Post’s leaked social media policy*.
The policy is aimed at preserving the appearance of objectivity rather than its actual existence. It focuses on what journalists are perceived to be, rather than what they actually do.”
In other words: media bias.
Written proof. Finally. Admitted. Thanks, WaPo.

Perhaps they should assign someone to watch Fox News, as the NY Times recently did.

I suspect that if they did that, Peter, that person would end up as I do watching the alphabets (ABC/CBS/CNN/NBC etc.), screaming at a person who can’t hear and doesn’t care. That’s why I rarely watch TV news any more (even local).

I would hope that, 100 years from now, people will read in their textbooks that this age of yellow journalism had a hearty life but it came to an end when the fifth column discovered they were basically irrelevant and went about adjusting their standards to real news without the obvious worship of all things socialist.
