It is not exactly news that Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan wants journalists to ditch objectivity. What is new is Sullivan's extreme urgency in begging journalists to reject any sense of professionalism because American democracy is at stake. "It's now or never!" I kid you not.Sullivan made her all hands on deck Defcon-1 pitch to ditch objectivity based on the supposedly unique emergency caused by the events of January 6 in her inadvertently funny Wednesday column, "Our democracy is under attack. Washington journalists must stop covering it like politics as usual."
