From Peter Jennings:
"I'm a little concerned about this notion everybody wants us to be objective," Jennings said.
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 we don't think we can be fully objective, to be fair," the anchorman said.
I think Jennings is exactly right. No one is completely objective; everyone's view of a story or issue is clouded by their worldview no matter how much they try to suppress it. That's why I don't have a problem with "liberal" media per se. However, the problem I do have is that they refuse to acknowledge that they are liberal media. A fact is a fact...just admit it and move on.
