GRA: I’ve posted on this subject numerous times. How has Turley just caught this trend now? It is not a good reflection on his powers of observation.

By Jonathan Turley (via ZH)

“we have been discussing the rise of advocacy journalism and the rejection of objectivity in journalism schools. writers, editors, commentators, and academics have embraced rising calls for censorship and speech controls, including president Joe Biden and his key advisers. this movement includes academics rejecting the very concept of objectivity in journalism in favor of open advocacy.

“columbia journalism dean and new yorker writer Steve Coll decried how the first amendment right to freedom of speech was being ‘weaponized’ to protect disinformation. in an interview with the stanford daily, stanford journalism professor, Ted Glasser, insisted that journalism needed to ‘free itself from this notion of objectivity to develop a sense of social justice.’”

[N.S.: “social justice” is nothing but a euphemism for Marxism, aka communism.]

“he rejected the notion that journalism is based on objectivity and said that he views ‘journalists as activists because journalism at its best — and indeed history at its best — is all about morality.’”

[GRA: A fascist statement if there ever was one—WHOSE morality, and for which groups of citizens? Only the blacks and illegals.]

“thus, ‘journalists need to be overt and candid advocates for social justice, and it’s hard to do that under the constraints of objectivity.’

“Lauren Wolfe, the fired freelance editor for the new york times, has not only gone public to defend her pro-Biden tweet but published a piece titled ‘I’m a biased journalist and I’m okay with that.’

“now the leaders of media companies are joining this self-destructive movement. They are not speaking of columnists or cable hosts who routinely share opinions. they are speaking of actual journalists, the people who are relied upon to report the news.

“there was a time when all journalists shared a common ‘identity’ as professionals who were able to separate their own bias and values from the reporting of the news.

“now, objectivity is virtually synonymous with prejudice. Kathleen Carroll, former executive editor at the associated press declared ‘it’s objective by whose standard? … that standard seems to be White, educated, and fairly wealthy.’”

[GRA: THEY’RE the biased ones!]

“outlets like npr are quickly erasing any lines between journalists and advocates. npr announced that reporters could participate in activities that advocate for ‘freedom and dignity of human beings’ on social media and in real life.

“Downie echoes such views and declares ‘what we found has convinced us that truth-seeking news media must move beyond whatever “objectivity” once meant to produce more trustworthy news.’

“really? being less objective will make the news more trustworthy? That does not seem to have worked for years but Downie and others are doubling down like bad gamblers at vegas.”

GRA: News reporting today, is either pure exaggeration or it’s outright censorship—no middle ground. Whites have been spoken about with DERISION—BY White reporters—for years (which makes no sense) as their audiences are constantly warned of White supremacy groups abounding (where?).

Now, the plan—apparently—is to replace White reporters with blacks, who can then blatantly attack Whites who oppose what the coalition of Dems, negroes, and antifa Whites are attempting to do—make regular White folks invisible (powerless/dead)—exceptions being—instances of, say, a juicy White crime story (e.g., Moscow, Idaho).

Their news focus on skipping the truth and refusing to report the facts is for indoctrination purposes only. The sole reason this would be implemented is to raise the hatred of the country’s minorities to a fever pitch, enabling a first attempt at media and government endorsed White Genocide.

Which the networks would then, of course, deny they were a part of.

N.S.: GRA, over the past year or so, Turley has indeed deteriorated.
