The Illusion of Neutrality_ Why Objective News is Fading

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

For nearly a century, the idea of objective journalism was the gold standard of American media. We were taught that reporters should be like fly-on-the-wall observers, presenting the facts and letting the audience decide. But today, that ideal feels like a relic of a bygone era. To understand why, we have to look back to the early 20th century, when newspapers intentionally moved away from party affiliations to reach a broader audience. That shift established the neutrality we grew up expecting. However, the world has changed drastically since then.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
