What do you mean you don't like the term objective? That media should be objective at all times - give us the news without your opinion. Perhaps the issue is the movement toward opinionated reporting? Or the types of stories promoted as Kasz mentioned (premium on gay marriage, unions, healthcare, etc)? |
Because I don't think there is a truly objective viewpoint. Opinions are fine.....best example probably being Murrow's reporting on McCarthyism. The problem is, even with opinionated reporting, there will always be people who disagree. In some ways, I think the media often times tries to be too objective and doesn't call politicians out on their lies. They just try to take what politicians say and report it, with little to no fact checking. If there is anything we know, it's that politicians lie...... a lot....for meaningless reasons often times.
