A. your question doesnt make sense. "how does objectivity inform the practice" is nonsense, to me at least. assuming you meant influence, i'll answer that. We as a culture have not always had objective journalism, look at Common Sense and other forms of media. Journalists, at least good ones, regard themselves as a form of enforcement, like a rogue, uncheckable branch of the government. By operating or at least acting like the branch of the people, it holds everyone accountable by being objective. Think about it, when was the last time any regular anchor on Fox News said something positive about Obama and Democrats in general? It's because Murdoch created a biased news channel just so he had an outlet for his ideas. For another… [cont.]

Does the average Republican know the difference between a journalist and a political pundit?
Q. It is the job of the first one to gather up facts, organize them logically, and convey them to the public. It is the job of the second to try and spread the ideology of a particular group that is desirous of political power ... you know, like the folks on FOX News. They don't have any training in real journalism and, therefore, have no concept of the ethic of objectivity. If it's dishonest to fool you into thinking they "deliver the news," well hey, it's just part of the job.

Will the mainstream media ever look back at this as a period when they temporarily lost their way?
Q. Or do you think that ethical journalism with at least the goal of objectivity is dead, and we have entered a new era when all news is biased and aimed toward a constituent, niche audience with a particular agenda? I'd appreciate answers that address the larger issue of the long-term trend rather than just an excuse to bash particular media outlets. Thank you

A. It really depends on the people more than the media outlets. We have seen a growing trend of favoritism in media, but they are still rewarded with revenues through viewership. As long as the people continue to buy their product whether it is flawed or not nothing will change. If however people demand integrity and honest reporting then there is hope. Those demands must be backed by real individual boycott in order to get the message across though. Frankly I was never really one of these people who screamed about the bias of the mainstream media.

Is there a totally objective news provider out there somewhere?
Q. The more I read the news, the more I get the impression that objectivity has lost much of its original status as an ideal in journalism. Most of the news I see on the web is either premanufactured stuff used by all, courtesy of Reuters, or heavily tendential and obviously partial. I struggle to find anything really worth reading, let alone trusting. Is there an independent news source out there that is verifiable, well-written by classy writers, and not bonkers? I'm thirsting.

Will the obvious pro-Obama media bias happening in American journalism today provoke a backlash against Obama?
Q. I think that any hint of objectivity has gone out the window when the three biggest network news anchors decided to go overseas with Obama to Iraq and pretend that he is the president-elect. That and the New York Times's rejection of a response from McCain to Obama's OpEd that they ran last week pretty much demonstrates without uncertainty where the media stands in this election. However, is the media doing Obama more harm than good? Subtle bias is one thing, but they are pretty much showing their hand to the nation and I am not sure America appreciates it.
