The problem being that most everyone thinks they're fighting for the truth.
Person A will complain that "SJW types" are being hired, the complaint being that they are biased against the truth.
Person B will complain that "SJW types" AREN'T being hired, the complaint being that people biased against the truth are being hired instead.
I don't know the answers, but I do think the "let's present both sides" of journalism has left journalism doing a terrible job of effectively presenting the truth. Finding a path that embraces objective reporting AND denies efforts to exploit the weaknesses of systems designed to promote objectivity is something we've not figured out yet.
