The NPR decided to call President Trump’s tweets about a group of Democratic congresswomen, “racist.” In Keith Woods article, he explains how the use of objectivity in today’s journalism is used to obscure the deceptive biases that the people battle with daily.
Considering the implications of NPR’s outburst of the fully loaded word “racist”, people did not agree with that statement. It is hard to distinguish as readers if what these journalists are reporting is facts or a bias opinion. The problem with the way media reports these types of issues is it all ends up turning into argumentative noise.
Keith Woods has a great point when he explains that back when he first got into the profession, it wasn’t hard to decipher real journalism from aggressive media used to anger its audience. There is a lack of objectivity in journalism now because of the media. That isn’t how it is supposed to be. Journalists are supposed to report the facts whether they like or agree with those facts. If the media continues to lead with emotion rather than facts, the world will continue down this angry path.
