| GameOver22 said: 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. |
Sure there can.
"Airplane exploded today at 9:15 AM."
"Jim Boehner met with President Obama today to discuss (insert topic)"
"Congressional Republicans vetoed the (insert bill) today by a margin of (insert vote)"
No need to add opinions to break the news to people.
I find you highly suspect now that you want the media's opinion about their own out of context quotations of politicians.
