The current trend may not be an aberration, but it should be feared.
- ashtonkem 6y agoIt should only be feared if: 1) You believe that the press did a good job during this unusual period. 2) You consider some of the sins of the past to be the fault of partisan press, at least in part.
- Khaine 6y agoJournalists of the past basically started the Spanish–American War
- ashtonkem 6y agoFor sure. I wouldn’t want to go back to that specific period of journalism.
- eli_gottlieb 6y agoAnd journalism has exacerbated every single Middle Eastern or African war/armed-conflict in my lifetime.
- ashtonkem 6y agoHence point #1; I think that the press has done a better job at pretend objectivity during my lifetime than it has at actually being objective.
