Sowell says

Journalists cannot serve two masters. To the extent that they take on the task of suppressing information or biting their tongue for the sake of some political agenda, they are betraying the trust of the public and corrupting their own profession.

When I was at journalism school, tutors told us very firmly that journalists’ role was to report the news as objectively as possible and let readers/listeners/watchers make up their own minds about the facts and views we reported.

The good ones here still do that.
