Major News Outlets Announce They're Abandoning Objectivity,

Claim Outdated Concept is a Relic of 'White Newsrooms'

https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=63577

"Objectivity has no place in a modern-day newsroom because it's "a distortion of reality" that was "dictated over decades by male editors in predominantly White newsrooms and reinforced their own view of the world," so says our new media elites.

From The Daily Caller News Foundation, "Major News Outlets Say They're Ditching Objectivity In The Name Of 'Diversity' ":

Leaders of prominent news organizations are eschewing journalistic objectivity, claiming it is antithetical to a diversity of views in their newsrooms, according to a series of interviews conducted by two journalism scholars.

Former executive editor for The Washington Post Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward interviewed over 75 media leaders to gauge how the industry views the concept of "objectivity." The media figures argued that journalists should include their own beliefs, biases, and experiences to convey truth, and that journalistic objectivity was either unrealistic or undesirable.

"Objectivity has got to go," said Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, editor-in-chief at the San Francisco Chronicle.

"[I]ncreasingly, reporters, editors and media critics argue that the concept of journalistic objectivity is a distortion of reality. They point out that the standard was dictated over decades by male editors in predominantly White newsrooms and reinforced their own view of the world," Downie Jr. wrote. "They believe that pursuing objectivity can lead to false balance or misleading "bothsidesism" in covering stories about race, the treatment of women, LGBTQ+ rights, income inequality, climate change and many other subjects. And, in today's diversifying newsrooms, they feel it negates many of their own identities, life experiences and cultural contexts, keeping them from pursuing truth in their work."

"Journalists of color" and LGBTQ journalists said that reporting objectively "negates their own identity, life experiences and cultural contexts, keeping them from pursuing truth in their work," according to Downie Jr."
 
Their statements are all objectively idiotic but they don't even realize it because they've abandoned all objectivity!

I remember the good old days when they denied having a very obvious left wing bias. It's now its explicit that they are a propaganda arm of the Establishment.

Kamala spews another WTF gibberish extravaganza.

“To help us articulate the metrics by which we will use to measure our success in real time.”
Interpretation: “We will lie our way out of this by figuring out how to make up new numbers and categories so that we can make it sound like we’ve done something … anything!  We will figure it out.”
