"..."Ultimately, journalism has changed ... partisanship is very much a part of journalism now..."

Ahh. I see. Yes, I recall the old days when partisanship wasn't a part of the profession, when we could trust people like Walter Duranty to tell us the baldfaced truth about the Soviet Union in the Thirties, Face the Nation to tell us the truth about Whittaker Chambers, Jack Anderson to tell us impartially about Joseph McCarthy, Walter Cronkite to tell us the truth about the Tet Offensive, or Woodward and Bernstein to tell us with no slant about Watergate.

Ah, yes. The good old days. How I miss them.

In all fairness, the media did turn on Jimmy Carter when he became so unpopular they could no longer afford to cover for him. I doubt they’ll ever abandon their Kenyan love interest.
