In olden times, the journalistic ideal was to report what happened as objectively as possible. Now that isn't seen as good at all.
Stories should be reported through the lens of The Message. Most reporters are young progressive Democrats, and this is whatever helps promote their agenda at the time.
I mean, not so long ago the newsroom editor of the San Francisco Chronicle explicitly came out against objectivity...
- cosmicgadget 1y ago> "The consensus among younger journalists is that we got it all wrong… We are the problem. Objectivity has got to go," The San Francisco Chronicle editor-in-chief Emilio Garcia-Ruiz similarly expressed. "They are willing to share their lived experiences to call out bulls---, despite their status in the newsroom. There can sometimes be a chasm between them and the older veteran reporters." Also you might need to time box "olden times" considering what newspapers looked like before the 60s.
