less advocacy, more journalism

David Zaslav, chief executive and president of CNN’s corporate parent, reportedly said he wanted CNN to focus on the facts and set itself apart from a cable-news industry monopolised by “advocacy networks”.

A board member, John Malone, has also spoken on the subject of media bias.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” Malone told CNBC in November.

Edit: I can hardly wait for the return to journalism. Just heard Martha Raddatz on ABC talk about Trump’s “false claims” once again. False claims is a value judgement, but presented as fact. The other phrase they use use is “without evidence”, which really means “without evidence they will accept”.

Taking some pride that we all noticed this, but were met with a whole lot of heads in the sand when we said it. Heck, even THEY admit that they do it... and that it is problematic.

Huh? Do you think that Lad and I don't agree that CNN and their ilk (FoxNews as well) hasn't crossed way over the line between journalism and opinion???
