“It struck me that maybe we need to stop talking about “bias” and even “propaganda” as if these are in themselves the problem with news media today. In the search for bias, we typically end up simply critiquing meanings we don’t like. This is a punishing cycle with few benefits, I think, for the critics or the criticized. I know that if you look for bias in our news media, you will find it. But in pretending to be objective, we ignore the implications of our subjectivity, refusing to acknowledge that it matters who is making the news.”
