@grac3alot “Journalistic objectivity is measured by the amount of fairness, disinterestedness, and nonpartisanship it produces. With all the evidence out there, Al-Jazeera and BBC, are up there with some of the worst. They’re just different flavors of CNN and FOX.”
Sorry, but no. It isn’t just a matter of bias. Fox News and CNN cannot even pretend to be journalism at this point. When a “news” network sues in court for the right to lie to its viewers it is not journalism. When a “news” network’s programming consists of grown adults screaming at each other for 5 minutes it is not journalism. When a “news” network reduces everything down to soundbytes it is not journalism. When a network’s “news” programming consists of reading off idiotic Twitter comments from its viewers followed by inane commentary by its anchors it is not journalism. When a “news” anchor suggests the reason for an airplane’s disappearance might be a black hole it is not journalism.
BBC and Al Jazeera may have their biases, but equating them with Fox and CNN is just insulting. They at least maintain journalistic intent. Fox and CNN, on the other hand, are nothing more than tawdry entertainment masquerading as “news”.
