The Society was also joined by a second time guest, Justin Sanders. Mr. Bowman was appointed to be Critic, and the Society moved into Committee Reports. Mr. Bowman took the floor as Treasurer, and stated that he had recently received an account statement from the University Foundation, and that everything was just about like he though it would turn out. The Society zoomed through Old Business, just for Ms. Shillington, who eagerly leapt to the floor following the Society's move into New Business. Following this act, a beat reporter for the local paper began hounding the officers for the incident, but it later was revealed that the same reporter had been arrested for DUI a few months prior by one of the implicated officers.
Objectivity is an attainable idea for the media.
According to the speaker, the paper was correct in its actions, for objectivity needed to be preserved. Therefore, bias is inherent within the system. Mr. Weaver stated that people want the new media to be fair because objectivity is almost as elusive as altruism. Mr. Shumaker asserted that the news media generally tries to be fair, but cannot be completely objective due to space and cost limitations. In short, the media could be objective, if we wanted them to be as consumers.
