>It’s similar for a journalist. Your job is to set aside all beliefs about what’s right or wrong and do the best job of executing a record of eye witness observations, quotations and facts that give a holistic view of every story. If any component of your own preferences for social movements or causes has come through, you’ve failed badly.
The implication you're making here is that the current reporting is neutral/objective.
>I personally think it’s really frightening. If journalists at our most major institutions believe their work should pursue an agenda like combating racism, that’s horrific.
Biased newspapers have existed for a long time[0]. I'm not quite sure why "Racism is bad" is considered a political agenda though
