Will the Times ever produce objective political journalism again? Or has it just forever devolved into how can we pin this on the other side?

  How would you know if it turned out that they were already objective?

    The term "biased" should be discarded, people just use it to mean "publishes things I don't agree with".

      Good point. I think there are some sources where it is defined in a more rigorous manner, Chomsky and Herman's Manufacturing Consent book is one example I like. They tried as much as possible to document bias in reporting for similar instances in corporate controlled media in US. There are a series of well documented cases. In conversation, I agree, the term "bias" when it comes to news means "doesn't say things I like"
