LOL. WHO is it trying to hide the transcript of the Fusion/GPS guys testimony????? The lefty NEWS???/ LOL.

That would be the bootlikker repugs. trying to hide what really was testified to!! Not the News not reporting on it!
Do you get paid for the one sided drivel/propaganda you post all the time??? Hope so. If not stick with the humor stuff, once in a while you succeed at that!

Wow, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Do you think the idea of subjectivity in reporting is impossible?

Your question is self answering. You used the term idea.

Objectivity in reporting is an ideal. A goal. Because reporting is done by humans (who have some bias on most topics) and published by businesses (who are concerned with their readers political tendencies) it is always out of reach and any single news report should always be considered along with the entirety of the reporting done on that topic. Is it impossible? Well, we can try can't we?

IMO, (in BIG BIG general) the News reporting nowadays makes attempts to stay neutral on topics (with some obvious exceptions like Fox) but largely gets off track into bias.
It was way worse in the 1800's and quite some better in the 1950's thru 70's.

That's exactly what I think.

Honestly, I think the biased left/right arguing all started with the McLaughlin Group (which kinda fits Laramie's timeline), hit pop culture with Crossfire, and now EVERY SINGLE media outlet is more concerned with making their own headlines/commentary than presenting the news.

Now we have a generation who thinks that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are news anchors.

I don't. I just think they are talented and funny comedians who know what they are talking about.

Thanks for admitting it.

Like Bob says, objectivity is something journalists and reporters strive for. It's the flagpole. I think NYT, ABC, WAPO, etc. Try to do this. To an extent, CNN does too.

The issue comes when, let's say the NYT does a negative report on Trump that is false. Are they 'fake news' and left now?

CNN objective? As objective as Fox.

Truth!

I am smarter than Chris Cuomo. He is garbage.

I never said that CNN was objective. I said that to an extent they TRY to be objective.

From splinter.com :

It’s hard to overstate Stewart’s influence. A 2010 Rasmussen poll found that nearly one in three millennials thought that shows like “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” were taking the place of traditional newscasts, including 30 percent of under-30s. About two in five said they thought the shows helped people stay abreast of current events, and more than one in five said the shows at least somewhat helped shape their political views.

A 2012 Pew Research Center survey gave more evidence of both shows’ influence. Though they made up just 23 percent of the American population at the time, young Americans from the ages of 18-29 made up 43 percent of the viewership of “The Colbert Report” — and 39 percent of “The Daily Show’s” audience.

The NYT used to have a facade of balance through the 70's.

Do you know who Edward Klein is? You should find out.

HE WAS the EDITOR IN CHIEF in more balanced times.

WHEN the old guard of the Times stepped down, Klein was ravaged. Unceremoniously kicked to the sidewalk. AND not just him. IT WAS A TOTAL BLOODLETTING and ushered in were THE NEW LEFT. Not only intolerant to the likes of Klein, but to the democrat leadership. Blue-dogs and moderates no longer need apply. The party has just been hijacked.

AND LIKE THE CANCER IT IS...it spread through all of the mainstream media, just like it had through academia over a decade earlier.

SO YES. THE TIMES is FAKE NEWS.

And they just got an award for being the #1 fake story in 2017. Paul Krugman. NYT. #1 FAKE. It's not a what if question. TIMES is FAKE.

Whatever happened to the topic of who it is that doesn't want the release of the transcript of the guys from Fusion/GPS exact testimony during that closed door hearing, with a majority repug, committee and chairman??

Nice shift Dougie. I say release it all. Everyone who is dirty should go down.
Those that abused FISA AND those that are compromised by any foreign governments!

RIGHT and WRONG!

RIGHT! WE BOTH WANT ALL THE INFORMATION RELEASED.

WRONG! THE REPUGS ARE DEMANDING BUT THE FBI AND JUSTICE INFECTED WITH FORMER OBAMA POISON DRAG FEET AND REFUSE TO TALK! IT'S COMING TO A HEAD! FBI AND JUSTICE CAN"T HIDE MUCH LONGER! SOON: EVEN FAKE NEWS WILL HAVE TO REPORT ON THE "NEW" WATERGATE!

YOU WANT BIASED MEDIA?

HOW MUCH TIME did the fake news spend on a simple press conference with TRUMPS DOCTOR trying to tell him he was wrong?

55 minutes. That wasn't a joke. It was a travesty.

IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND FAKE NEWS AND PROPAGANDA AFTER THAT.....you never will.
