In journalism, objectivity is not truth, it is balance. Reporters consider themselves mirrors of society. They just reflect what is going on. Never argue with a reporter, you cannot win. Arguing with a reporter is like trying to sew buttons on a poached egg.
Reporters like to personalize their stories.
You are into technically correct information. They are into controversy and opinion. No matter what you believe, reporters are not out to cause panic. While everyone thought the news coverage of Three Mile Island was irresponsible and sensational in nature, this was not the case. The preponderance of reassuring reports over alarming statement was 73 percent to 27 percent.
