I don't think that is true - rather, objectivity is difficult. That is why it is important to have decentralized trustworthy news.

  How would decentralization help with objectivity?

    It's impossible for everything to be perfectly objective - having more credible sources with different points of view allows for more objectivity. Centralized news is too easy to manipulate.

      Thats interesting. It seems to me people are already overwhelmed with sources of news, unfortunately many of them are not "credible" or acting in good faith. I'm not sure I see a way to enforce credibility without a centralized authority. Furthermore, I think the recent history would say that when presented with multiple "objective" points of view, people will merely gravitate the ones that reinforce their priors, and I don't think that is what we would deem success either.

      Or would it just allow for a clearer connection between what the audience wants and what gets "printed" without an editorial influence? The problem isn't centralization, the problem is we're building confirmation bias engines.
