No journalist is unbiased


Any journalist that claims to be unbiased (I'm looking at you, Bill O'Reilly) is someone who you should never be listening to.

It's all about accepting your biases and making them very clear, allowing the reader to come to their own conclusions.

Disclaimer: this requires critical thought, which seems to have fallen out of favor these days.


Quite unfortunately in the US Watergate seems to have elevated Hacks to some sort of sainted status who poop rainbows.

When in the rest of the world they are regarded as at best a necessary evil or lower than estate agents and politicians in the trust states in the case of tabloid journalists.
