“If journalism is not objective, it’s not journalism — it’s propaganda.”
Basic stuff.
Liberals are sickos.
Most journalism schools these days, it seems to me, are openly promoting “activism” of the communist sort.
David Halberstam’s The Powers That Be was an influential work in the 1980s, I think that might have been part of it.
These activists look down on the old-school who-what-when-where-why-how journalists, whom they regard as mere practitioners of a craft (not a profession) with no lofty aspirations of changing the world, just poor schlubs with a pencil behind the ear and maybe a camera dangling around the neck.
