…which reinforces my point. That when learning journalism, you’re taught to use a degree of objectivity when writing a story (if nothing else than for legal reasons; the lesson about objectivity is usually quickly followed up with one about libel and defamation of character), but when you leave education and enter the workforce, any objectivity you may intend is compromised by your employer.
Hell, you may even write a fairly objective piece, but the editorial team will alter your words to best represent the stance of the paper.
