the myth of objectivity

Incidentally, I am in the process of composing a long, rambling post about why people hate journalists and the media, specifically my newspaper/news magazine/newsletter/magazine... whatever you care to call it. I may never get to the point of the post, in which case I will never post it.

Do not fear, this article should tide you over. It's concise, honest, and refreshing. It explains a lot of important things that most lay-people don't understand about "the media." It's what I wish I had been saying in the media's defense all along. Well, I have, but maybe not in so many words.

I still hate the phrase, "the media."
