They're right, though. It's better that the media be openly partisan than let the populace be fooled into thinking there are objective, impartial news sources.

>It was not as if the Times, CNN and the other legacy news organizations gained much in the way of gravity and trust from such strained efforts at evenhandedness. If the mainstream media do not merely echo their man’s views, Trump supporters dismiss them as the “liberal” media, as, gallingly, “fake news.” In the second decade of the 21st century, it seems impossible to be trusted by many on all sides the way a Lowell Thomas was.

>Having a take on events is no sin for a journalist. Presenting as reasonable an argument you know to be unreasonable is. How refreshing it is to see mainstream journalists beginning to realize that they no longer need pretend.

what was needed was admission they're news orgs that shill for the establisment.

what we got was "woe is me, us poor, persecuted, facts have a liberal bias crusaders of truth, us journalists always on the side of the people and justice" nonsense.

its still shit. how does that do anything but further the divide and promote garbage journalism? News hasn't been unbiased since Cronkite and he was impartial and reported as such. Now, they just masquerade as being impartial. The conclusion they reach is "theres no way for us to actually be unbiased so why try to pretend?"

Fuck the media
