So please, you and the rest of the ignorant world, stop making ignorant assumptions about journalists and let us do our jobs. Thanks you moron. |
Journalists theoretically are supposed to write only the facts, but in reality, they taint most of the facts they write on.
The bias begins from the moment the reporter chooses which story they wish to cover or get assigned to. Due to political, institutional, and commercial reasons, how accurately the facts are presented will be influenced. The fact is that journalists are humans, and humans will have an opinion to color a fact. On top of that, all news organizations are run like a business. The prime interest is profit. How they obtain their “facts” is another topic all together.
