[QUOTE="MoonlessNight, post: 72237314, member: 13255"] The problem with American media is that it is still under the delusion that outlets will be "fair and objective" (or at least, that's the line that they sell to the public). We can certainly [I]strive[/I] for objectivity, but we will never reach it, and in practice in the long run organizations never get close. The situation is better in European media where generally outlets are quite clear about who they are rooting for and don't deny primarily reporting on issues which support a desired narrative. This allows the reader to compare stories from different slanted sources and try to find a common thread of what really happened. In contrast in America every outlet claims that they have no agenda beyond reporting the plain facts, even though we all know that this is false. [/QUOTE]
