Eric Starkman (a Los Angeles-based writer and journalist) said:
“The mainstream media has abandoned all pretense of objectivity.
Whereas in the past journalists viewed themselves as unbiased chroniclers of the news, their focus today is on manufacturing it and dominating the ensuing conversations.
A journalist’s influence today isn’t determined by the quality or accuracy of their reporting, but rather the size of their Twitter following and the frequency of their television appearances.”
