The whole idea that there is such a thing as impartial or unbiased news is a deeply flawed idea that is itself a strong ideological position. Everyone is biased, ideological and partial, some may claim they aren't, but it's just a lie. The media has failed everyone miserably over and over and over again in the last decades and has consistently failed to take accountability.
I still vividly remember the media's disgusting mouth-foaming psychotic hysteria in support of the Iraq war and the ferociousness in which they barked at anyone who dares to speak the truth. Or the countless times they prevented leaks of the most disgusting crimes of the state to be published, or how they threw their own sources into the fire to protect the most vile warmongers.
I feel nothing but contempt for journalism.
