Could we just drop the facade of news objectivity? Peter Jennings almost sounds like he’s leaning that way.

Jennings said the media is now under the hot lights.

“I’m a little concerned about this notion everybody wants us to be objective,” Jennings said.

Yeah, such a nuisance.

Jennings said that everyone — even journalists — have points of view through which they filter their perception of the news. It could be race, sex or income. But, he said, reporters are ideally trained to be as objective as possible.

And when 80%+ of journalists are liberals, seems to me that this bias can’t help but show itself. Jennings comment strongly suggests that, but he’d never admit it.
