I'm against objectivity as it's currently practiced here in the US.
They should strive to print the truth. Period.
And while it's news sometimes, that some idiot politician says something stupid, those stupid remarks should be accompanied by some fact checking and some context.

I would rather read a publication that was ideological, if it was *honest* -- than an "objective" or even allegedly left-wing paper if it was patently full of crap, like, say, Time, Newseek, the NYT or the Washington Post.
just waiting for the first POS in the hood to start blastin stuff

Billy B,
*mwah*
Yes, I agree, the truth would be a nice change.
It was Edward R. Murrow who famously
said "With some stories, there's only
one side."
Smart guy...
Precisely.
With MANY stories there is only one side. The truth.
Now there may be a ridiculous debate going on, but the debate itself should be a separate story. Like, "such and such wanker is attempting to cloud the issue by making THIS assinine argument."
NO FLIRTING!!! -flory
Sounds like someone needs a back massage. Lean your head forward.
I mean really, why do you have to give a megaphone to the wankers on the wrong side of an argument just for "balance"?
Because 99% of the time, the truth has a liberal bias (seriously). So printing just the "truth" sends the wingnuts into orbit, which pisses off your bosses...and prolly doesn't help your job evaluation.
I added the ever-popular "Those. Aren't. Pillows!!!"
Ah, yes!
Heh.
Nanny Goats, Billy Goats, whatever comes his way,
hey, god damnit!!!!!
the whole notion of "balanced" journalism is absurd. no news outlet should care if it is balanced or not. balance should come from a variety of outlets.

You know I don't...but I've said too much. Oooh, look: lightning!
Also, if everyone's nose DID grow longer when they didn't tell the truth, it would help.
This is a good day to not be a citizen of Japan. How did two powerful democracies manage to both elect nitwits at the same time?

Its domestic programming and broadcasts are primarily funded by levying television licence fees (Under the 1947 Wireless & Telegraphy Act) upon separately owned or rented Premises with televisual equipment on the premises either capable of receiving the BBC TV signal or which is used to access BBC TV programmes online through their computer, although there is also money raised through commercial activities such as sale of merchandise and in order to justify the licence fee the BBC is expected to produce a number of high-rating shows in addition to programmes that commercial broadcasters would not normally broadcast.

The newspapers.
Are they objective and non-ideological, or do they strive for ideological and partisan balance?
They need to make up their minds, because those two things are very different.
the whole notion of "balanced" journalism is absurd. no news outlet should care if it is balanced or not. balance should come from a variety of outlets.
This would be OK if the ownership of those outlets was spread around more.

From below: Religious speech can be transcendent, and genuinely Christian ideals about justice and mercy can inspire even non-believers.
That's complete crap.
I think it's true. But I also think it would be nice if people of faith would recognize that they don't have a monopoly on "transcendence" and "inspiration."
Ah, Koizumi-san. His eyebrows gild the dawn!
flory, I thought you'd be out looking for yason in the tree at the park.
I find when people listen to Amy Goodman for the first time, they find her shrill, strident, and "ideological."
But after awhile, if they stick with her, they find her fair, still ideological, but honest about it, and pursuing truth with a bulldog's tenacity. And, above all, extremely moral about her understanding of right and wrong, and why journalists should expose abuses that soon become corruption.
If more of news were like her, and less like either FoxNews or the bland corporate news of the MSM, the US would be far better served.
Death to Joseph Pulitzer! Death to the "school of objectivity"!

We're all people of faith. We all believe in things that we have no actual proof of. It's part of consciousness. Try not believing that you'll keep breathing from moment to moment. Or thinking. It's part of how we perceive time.
It's ALWAYS been them v. the world.
Cue Helen Redy.
And when one of us is gone,
And one of us is left to carry on,
Then remembering will have to do,
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you,
Of you and me against the world.

I can only speak for Christianity on that issue, but were Christians to follow your advice, they would be practicing the humility that is supposed to be at the heart of their faith.

Gee, wouldn't it?
Here's what I'd like: I like it more than I can say if a candidate could stand up in this country and say "I am an agnostic and I refuse to talk about religion. It has no place in our government."
That's about as likely as me growing a set of wings and flying back to Italy on my own steam.
I think it's true. But I also think it would be nice if people of faith would recognize that they don't have a monopoly on "transcendence" and "inspiration."

At one time protestants believed this. Otherwise they'd still be Catholics. Hypocritical if you ask me.
We're all people of faith. We all believe in things that we have no actual proof of. It's part of consciousness. Try not believing that you'll keep breathing from moment to moment. Or thinking. It's part of how we perceive time.
But people like Obama won't admit it. He thinks that secularism is an enemy of progress, and he's trying to establish a faith-based culture. He just thinks that if liberals understand he's being ecumenical about it that they won't mind.
It's part of how we perceive time
Which is apparently highly culturally-dependent.

Moonbootica, Buffy Geek
Sigh! If only the U.S. were an ex-imperial power too!!
I guess that, to me, faith is believing that what you believe is good really is good. Thus, if you are a christian, you believe it's worth being one, regardless of whether or not you get post-mortem goodies or punishment or other sorts of things that really aren't very important to me.
Halfdan,
I wasn't calling you hypocritical.
All right I finished the minutes. Now I have to write this memo explaining the multimillion dollar project isn't going to work.
Hey, moonbats.
Just had an "odd" moment. Bumped into the art professor I dated last fall at the zoo. That's the place where we had our first date, and the place where we broke up. I thought he had moved away, but if he did, he's back.
He wanted to chat and chat and chat, but he had this woman barking at him - obviously, she picked up on the fact that we were dating at one time. I remember telling him that if he was as fucked up as he claimed he was to get some counseling before he dated again...
The whole thing left me - weird. Just feeling weird is all.
You folks really have to watch the news on this Graceland trip. The pictures do not do it justice.
The Daily Show will have a half-hour, just of Koizi singing and posing.
Erm...... Should I be worried here? -flory
Ok, no Vollenweider. How about Van's Common One? That should take the edge off.
Here's what I'd like: I like it more than I can say if a candidate could stand up in this country and say "I am an agnostic and I refuse to talk about religion. It has no place in our government."
Yes. That would be fantastic. I'd even settle for, "My religios beliefs are my own personal business and I refuse to talk about religion. It has no place in our government."
I also think it would be nice if people of faith would recognize that they don't have a monopoly on "transcendence" and "inspiration."
Oh, an adherent of satyagraha?
Oh my God, Koizi's video trip to Graceland is the most fuckin' bizarre thing ever!

Bush is probably thinking to himself "No wonder this feller hung in there in Iraq fer so long... he's nuts!!"
That's about as likely as me growing a set of wings and flying back to Italy on my own steam.

You and I see eye to eye on things so often. Nicely said.
Yes. That would be fantastic. I'd even settle for, "My religios beliefs are my own personal business and I refuse to talk about religion. It has no place in our government."
Shit, that works too. It would be a thing of beauty.
But American Christians will not allow it. Bill Bradley was castigated from all directions for basically saying that very thing.

Hey ladies -- here's some good news. Looks like the HPV vaccine is on its way.....
With just the advisory panel's recommendation, at least two major insurance plans -- Kaiser Permanente and WellPoint -- announced Thursday that they would cover Gardasil and offer it as a standard vaccination for preteen girls
At one time protestants believed this. Otherwise they'd still be Catholics.
Now, they just want their own monopoly on the truth. Except for many Episcopalians. Still a world unto themselves.

Yeah, I know.
It must be really inconvenient to not be a War President.
Obama doesn't think that secularism in the enemy of progress. Has he said this?
Pretty much. He says that secularism is causing us all to be materialistic, have holes in our hearts and causing inner city gang members to shoot each other. His life was empty before he found Jesus, so he assumes that everyone else's is too. Read the speech.
