It is a direct and inevitable result of what they're taught in Journalism and Media schools - that there is no such thing as "truth", there is only opinion, and conforming to the narrative of one's political affiliation is he essence of doing their jobs. What is your evidence of this? I went to school with a number of journalism students, some of whom I count as close friends, and this is nowhere close to what they would consider ethical journalistic behavior. There's always going to be bias in journalism, and it's good to work against that to be as fair as possible (if that's your aim), and it's also important readers to be on the lookout for it as critical readers. One that's impossible to avoid is bias on what to report. Publications are physically limited by what they can cover: they can't cover everything. Choices have to be made as to what to cover. Some stories are going to get covered, some won't, and regardless of the choices that are made, there's going to be bias from some side. It's impossible to avoid, and something they'll always be susceptible to by uncharitable accusers. |
