Philosophically, their error is merely the end result of incorrect assumptions or methodology. Their error may still be morally wrong, but if they still harbor some respect for the truth then they can rectify their error. The person who will take no stand, the so-called unbiased objective reporter, is in fact more morally repugnant then the person who is incorrect. The fence-sitter does not care enough to find the truth and is perfectly satisfied making no distinction between wrong and right. It is time that truth came into the discussion of media bias.
Journalists have to admit that their bias leads to slanted reporting.
It comes out in the angles taken on stories, it comes out in the language used and it comes out in the overall world view that a news service creates. It is also time for people to stop demanding the mythical unbiased reporting that has never existed. An objective reporter is not one that takes no stand in covering a story, but one who in search of the truth reports what the truth really is. All rights reserved.
