Objective, Not Neutral

via The Smirking Chimp: "Cenk Uygur, The Huffington Post

The media isn't supposed to be neutral - it is supposed to be objective. There is an enormous difference between the two. And this is a difference that has been lost on the mainstream media for quite awhile now.

Conservatives have shouted from the rooftops that the media isn't being fair to them when they report news that shows conservatives in a bad light. But it isn't the media's job to decide what is and is not fair to any political party. Their job is to report the news -- whatever it might be. . ."

Neutral is without opinion. Objective is reporting the truth.
