  1. You say "went back" as if journalists once were unbiased. This is a myth. The Founding Fathers put the 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights so ANYbody - popular OR unpopular - could speak their mind. They were under no illusions as to the objectivity of the press. The press, to them, were the pamphleteers who DARED oppose the establishment. Objectivity was a myth created near the beginning of the 20th Century, when, in their ignorance, they couldn't IMAGINE there being more than one or two channels, EVER. On RADIO. So they came up with the "Fairness Doctrine" that was supposed to ensure journalistic integrity. But it was all a bunch of made-up shit, and it took a New York Minute for the rich and powerful to reach their tentacles into CBS, NBC and ABC, to PRESERVE the Existing Order, or to drum up support for war or new government programs or whatever those bastards were selling, OR to simply NOT report things that were embarrassing to the power elite. Just forget about objectivity in journalism. Instead, DIVERSIFY your sources. I'm a hard-core libertarian, who thinks Jimmy Dore is an unaligned socialist. He's not humming the Internationale, or anything, but his philosophy on the proper scope and role of government is essentially socialist. But Jimmy GETS IT when it comes to imperialism, abroad. So even though I'm a freedom, self-reliance and limited-government kind of guy, Jimmy's one of my favorite sources. I just with he were more of a classical liberal (Get government off my back.) instead of a Progressive (Big gov't's OK, so long as it only does what I want it to do). That's a fallacy. Government is poison. We should only take it in small doses: National DEFENSE (not OFFense), enforcement of the U.S. Constitution. That's it. Progressives are like farmers, who see that a ton of fertilizer/pesticide on their 20 acres is good, so 10 tons of fertilizer/pesticide on their 20 acres must be 10 TIMES as good. Meh. Bleah.
