The big media companies themselves invented and promoted the idea, in the early 1900s. After that it became a very useful tool of the state. The "fourth estate" and somehow people think that's a good thing.
FDR basically seized control of radio stations and televisions, and many journalists were already pro-Socialist, pro-Communist, and/or pro-Fascist in the 1930's. Once everything got centralized under the big 3 television stations, it became standard to claim that there was only one view of reality.
"Objective Journalism" is when Woodward & Bernstein work with members of the FBI to destroy the most popularly supported elected president in American history, or when Walter Cronkite is the sole deciding factor of whether or not the war in Vietnam is being waged correctly according to the president, or when the House Unamerican Activities Committee and separately Senator McCarthy is slandered after successfully rooting out Soviet agents in the US by Edward R. Morrow.
Objective Journalism is designed to prevent you from thinking there is an alternative perspective, and it's a Leftist construction stemming from America's favorite Democratic Socialist.
Well we all have our biases. Most people here and with the fifth estate in general aren't objective, it's more like they acknowledge their biases. And I'm actually fine with that.
Where did the idea of an objective press come from? There has never been an "objective" media. Even the Roman shouters parroted whoever was in power.

You're actually a part of it.
Right now, here, on this very forum.
You own the media. You are broadcasting in a way your ancestors could only dream of.
You are so bullied you can't even see this.
