"Clearly?" In what way is it clear that "ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN are all still dedicated to objectivity journalism?"
"But they do it too!" It's like if I had gotten in trouble for something and said to my parents, "but my sister does it/did it too!".

I've watched NBC Nightly News for years, and I have yet to see any example of NBC not staying true to objective journalism.

It seems to me that accusing NBC, ABC, etc is an excuse.

While I have no doubt that your childhood was fascinating, I am not sure how that sentence addresses the question I put to another poster.

I've watched NBC Nightly News for years, and I have yet to see any example of NBC not staying true to objective journalism.
In other words, you are a liberal. You watch liberal news readers and think they are objective because they have the same worldview as you. You are confusing agreement with objectivity.

It seems to me that accusing NBC, ABC, etc is an excuse.
An excuse for what?

My childhood is not the point. The point is that saying "But NBC, CNN, etc do it too!" does not excuse FOX News being more about ideology than news.

In other words, you are a liberal. You watch liberal news readers and think they are objective because they have the same worldview as you. You are confusing agreement with objectivity.
If you're so convinced that NBC isn't objective, give us some proof of their lack of objectivity.

An excuse for what?
Giving FOX a pass.
