No, things cannot be reported with perfect objectivity. But that doesn't make striving for objectivity any less essential. Objectivity is an absolute requirement for fairness, justice, and getting at the truth. Get rid of it, and you get rid of any attempt to discover and act out the truth. Get rid of that, and you're not left with much other choice to resolve your differences amongst men than force.

Yes, they should. Just as the clear and obvious link between people who shoot up army bases and terrorists should be reported.

You don't even realize how much of a non-response your post is, do you?

My goodness. Could you cite the writers and thinkers in the sixties who believed that objectivity was impossible? The "Modern Liberals" who believed this? You know, the people who believe that "rational thought is a hate crime"?
That has to be one of the more remarkably ignorant statements I've ever seen on a screen. And you were completely serious when you wrote it. Which would, by pure logical extrapolation, make you one of the more remarkably ignorant people in the world. But you would have to be. Fourteen people were brutally murdered and you complained about the way the news covered it, which was BY FAR the most important issue.

The results about Fox News echo findings of previous surveys. In 2003, University of Maryland researchers studied the public’s belief in three false claims — that Iraq possessed WMD, that Iraq was involved in 9/11, and that there was international support for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

The researchers stated, “The extent of Americans’ misperceptions vary significantly depending on their source of news. Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions.” Fox News viewers were “three times more likely than the next nearest network to hold all three misperceptions.”

You knew me in 1991. It's what – almost two decades later?

A cheap and douchey shot, Evan – one that, even on the occasions we've disagreed via my facebook page, I've never stooped to.

Disappointing.
