Seperation of News and Politics

[Wake]

All of our major media outlets are politically biased. I propose there should be a delegation of news and politics. Yes, I said it. Can you imagine objective news with no shadow of bias? The exception, of course, would be political events that cannot be biased: the shooting/etc of politicians, brief election results, etc.


Impossible? How so?

Look, make objective news channels. Then let political parties have their own biased channels where they can talk of news with their own biases, have their opinion shows, etc. This way objective and non-tinted/political news can be reported on major networks for normal people. I'd like to see a truly non-political news outlet as big as FOX.

Your thoughts?

Objective news would require objective reporters and editors. I am fairly sure those are mythological and do not actually exist in the real world.

Objectivity is a myth. Everyone is biased. The only difference is some admit it, and some hide it.

I'd say some can overcome it better than others. Whether or not you can admit your bais flows directly from the first.

Everyone is biased


The difference is that some understand it, and can present generally unbiased news dispite their bias

The BBC is pretty good at doing unbiased international news. The US networks are not as good ( at least US editions) at doing so

That's pretty much what I think. I think many news outlets do try to be dispassionate, but it's impossible to expect human beings to check their feelings at the door. So until we hand news reporting over to robots...and considering the ratings that people like O'Reilly get, it seems unlikely that anyone would want to watch that.

How do you propose to do this? If the government is getting involved, I doubt that they could do any better at creating a more objective, fact-based, and professional news cycle. It is up to us, the consumers to ignore shrill preachings from either side and watch, listen to, or read the work of reporters who are qualified for their jobs.

I meant seperation, not delegation (too late to edit). *My cellphone's word-finding function changes my words constantly without my approval. Dank you, cellphone. (See?)
