Submitted by Sheldon Rampton [2] on
There is no single explanation for the holes in U.S. news coverage of the Bush Administration, but Brent Cunningham argues that journalists' devotion to what they call "objectivity" played a role by making them "passive recipients of news, rather than aggressive analyzers and explainers of it." Moreover, he notes, the concept itself is unclear: "Ask ten journalists what objectivity means and you'll get ten different answers."
