it's facinating to read the history of print journalism (newspapers and broadsheets) in this country since colonial times.
It's only a recent innovation that the concept of unbiased reporting has even been accepted as a journalistic standard, never mind how well it's implemented. For at least the first two hundred years papers were as unbiased as a copy of The Watchtower.
Most newspapers were worse than Faux News - not even pretending to state the facts no matter how they couched them. A tradition of opinion oriented news is an old and ignoble tradition in this country.
