Great article on the Media

This was a very good article that discusses bias in the media. The author speaks about Mainstream Media sources as well as talking about the bias in some Alternative Media sources. There used to be more identification of where the bias was historically. Now, it seems that everyone tries to tout their own objectivity, when the truth is that there is no such thing as total objectivity. Everything in the press, and in life for that matter, is viewed from a particular viewpoint. Total objectivity is impossible, but it is possible to determine the biases and unspoken assumptions that a particular book, article or work is based upon. This is critical, because the viewpoint and hidden assumptions are what will determine the conclusion. It is subtle, but extremely fundamental to the reasoning process.
