I think journalism itself is at fault for that quite a bit. The abandonment in many newsrooms of the idea of objectivity goes to a broader conversation about social changes and that sort of stuff. That is not what people want. Journalists' first obligation needs to be to their readers, and they need to serve readers the way they want to be served. The way they want to be served is to be given all the facts and to be able to make up their own minds. You can offer some opinions elsewhere if you want, but please just serve me.
I don't think that's happening that well. I think part of that is that journalists themselves and newsrooms themselves need to recommit to some of the core values. I mean, it's never been a perfect business. It's always been a rough and tumble business, but they do need to get back to the core values of being straight shooters and being objective or aspiring to it as much as they can. We all know that it's hard, but there are all kinds of things in life that are hard.
