I'm not sure if we've ever had true "journalism", ESPECIALLY in our lifetime but maybe ever?
I've always thought the definition had "unbiased" within it. While that is actually impossible, extreme low bias is possible. Reporting actual facts and letting the consumer decide what to think.
@mbryson = @idealistskeptic Whatever news source you cite in the modern American media has significant bias in my mind.
In my early years in college,
Operation Desert Shield turned into
Operation Desert Storm. At that time I thought CNN credible. I don't give them any more credibility than the National Enquirer or Faux, er Fox News
Maybe I'm Orwellian?
I was strongly encouraged to read 1984 in grade school. A little over my head but I reread it again in high school. Probably due for a re-read? Interesting and scary thoughts are presented there. More accurate and plausible than I ever thought possible
