This is actually somewhat important..................

Exactly. To quote the article, which is something I’ve said several times the last few days:

“One of Harris' greatest assets, however, will be favorable media coverage; indeed, mainstream reporters are already trying to protect her on one of her most vulnerable issues.“

The problem isn’t that the mainstream press is partisan as much as it is that they pretend not to be. They knowingly want to manipulate the opinions of the public while acting as if they’re neutral conveyors of the news. For decades, Americans didn’t know to put their guards up when consuming the New York Times or ABC Nightly News. So they just absorbed whatever without questioning it.

I think people are starting to understand now that broadcast and print news is just as much a partisan hack job as right wing talk radio and has to be filtered accordingly. But that message has to be continued to be hammered home again and again.

It is a crying shame that neutral journalism without an agenda is so rare.

Sure it has. Albeit rarely.

Journalism was highly partisan for most of American history. But it was obviously so. It was mostly in print and readers knew what they were getting.

What changed is that journalism started to pretend to be something else. Something higher. Almost scientific. Neutral and trustworthy. Something you could drop your filter with.That’s what makes the modern Leftist media so insidious and worthy of scorn.

Straight unbiased news isn’t a money maker. Echo chambers produce loyal viewers. Consistent viewer numbers equal ad revenue.

Exactly.  It was always biased.  You are right that today it is still biased but tries to pretend its some noble source of information.  

There is a difference between A journalist and journalism. But even individual journalist have some bias in their reporting. I don't doubt they came into the profession to be objective as possible, but human nature makes that statistically impossible.

My bias would be what I think and say as a person. Due to the relaxed rules of this site, bias toward political views, as Illinois claims, is almost impossible and I have asked him and you to point out examples which you have failed to do.

I likely have some bias towards those who insult wives and family members and delete those comments quickly since such behavior is uncalled for. My bias may show toward childish behavior demonstrated by some or attempts to use banned words by misspelling them to get around the censor.

Human nature makes it difficult for anyone to be 100% objective.
