Major News Outlets Announce They're Abandoning Objectivity, Claim Outdated Concept is a Relic of 'White Newsrooms'

Objectivity has no place in a modern-day newsroom because it's "a distortion of reality" that was "dictated over decades by male editors in predominantly White newsrooms and reinforced their own view of the world," so says our new media elites.

From The Daily Caller News Foundation, "Major News Outlets Say They're Ditching Objectivity In The Name Of 'Diversity' ":
Leaders of prominent news organizations are eschewing journalistic objectivity, claiming it is antithetical to a diversity of views in their newsrooms, according to a series of interviews conducted by two journalism scholars.

Former executive editor for The Washington Post Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward interviewed over 75 media leaders to gauge how the industry views the concept of "objectivity." The media figures argued that journalists should include their own beliefs, biases, and experiences to convey truth, and that journalistic objectivity was either unrealistic or undesirable.

"Objectivity has got to go," said Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, editor-in-chief at the San Francisco Chronicle.

I have newspapers.com, and have combed through volumes and volumes of old newspapers, and found that the news in the Civil War was even then biased toward the politcal slant of the paper.  But at least then, it was presented in a manner that at least was truthful from at least their perspective.

Modern left leaning MSM purposely lies, and now readily admits it boldly

The beauty of this is that the majority of potential readers will simply stop reading those papers.  It's a huge reason legacy media is dying.

That's true! My wife used to complain about all the news I subscribed to. That has now ended because I subscribe to zero print media at all.
