Thanks

Are you seriously asking this? It’s a Fox channel, what do you think?

That you’re an idiot.

Sinclair's WJLA 7 news is partisan junk. Sinclair makes local affiliates run segments of right wing disinformation and opinions. Here's a stunning montage of local news anchors reading Sinclair's statement all over the country -- clearly not their personal viewpoint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHfgU8oMSo

I fail to see the scandal here? What’s wrong with journalists making a pledge of objectivity and promising to be free of bias?

Isn’t that sorta the point of journalism? Reporting the facts - JUST the facts - and letting people decide for themselves?



What’s wrong with that?

Not the poster who shared that link, but I guess nothing's wrong with pledging to be free of objectivity...except it wasn't something the journalists were saying for themselves, it was mandated that they read that statement on air by higher ups who were pushing back on "liberal" media bias.

A journalist that balks at pledging objectivity is someone that has no business being a journalist
