Mostly all publications these days are supported/funded by outside “open societies or foundations” that want to further their own agenda. Unless it’s independent journalism, don’t expect these entities to objectively report anything.
Not to mention funded by foreign governments to further their own agenda.
And it's arguable that this dire state of journalism was caused by tech eating traditional print media.
This is an opinion piece.
That's all we really ever get these days.
Stop reading the opinion section, then??
That's the least biased bit.
Choose your sources better. There is still plenty of good general news reporting.
So is the take you’re referring to. It’s fair, and I endorse it!
And there should be some sort of three strike rules for those that publish their reporting. 3 provably wrong reportings should be enough. Or maybe lead to automatic full disclosure of all communication up to that point and if found that they knew it was false the publishing company is permanently terminated.
Objectivity doesn't mean dishonesty, it just means there's a slant. Every outlet has a slant. Discussions around "objectivity" are usually disingenuous, and are really discussions about whether the slant meets the approval of the subject.
And who is going to be the judge of that?
The Ministry of Truth, of course.
Yeah, when it comes to reporting and language in general "objective" is a subjective term
