THE CULT (?) of journalistic objectivity. Conor Friedersdorf in a nearly incoherent post on the works of James O'Keefe: "... [M]ore evidence that pretending reporters have no opinions or biases is no longer tenable."

Friedersdorf is confusing opinion with bias and both with objectivity. I have no objection to either opinion or bias, provided they are kept in the opinion pages, where they belong, and not the news pages. I expect news to confine itself to who, what, where, when, how, and only sometimes why (if that can be established as factual and not opinion). I can generate the opinion myself.
