About this listen

The Neutral Media Myth.' This idea suggests that the long-standing ideal of journalistic objectivity, the belief that news can be delivered without any bias, is actually an unattainable illusion.
Historically, journalistic objectivity gained traction in Western media by the early 20th century. The goal was simple: present unvarnished facts, free of personal opinions, allowing the audience to form their own conclusions. Journalists were meant to be neutral stenographers of truth, striving for what some call a "view from nowhere."
However, critics argue that true objectivity is impossible because the act of reporting inherently involves a series of unavoidable, subjective choices that introduce bias.
