Our Unbiased Media

A qualification. Prior to about 1941, news outlets had fairly public biases, you had a multiplicity of biases from which to choose, and papers were staffed with people devoted to the task of reporting. From about 1941 to about 1992, the media bias was escalatingly monochromatic, but outlets still employed authentic reporters. The period since about 1992 has seen biased reporters and editors incrementally replaced with garbage people paid to lie for the Democratic Party. (Of course, there were dishonest people under the previous regime, but it was usually passably concealed. Dan Rather was a distrusted figure for decades; it was only in 2004 that his bad character was so flagrantly demonstrated that the network had to stop pretending).

Journalists used to be blue collar men and women out to get “the man”, now they’re college educated propagandists with astronomical college debt to pay off by doing whatever “the man” tells them to do.
“What orders from Mordor my lord, what does the Eye command?”

Journalism should be about reporting unbiased facts:

Woman kills her unborn grandchild. Burns body and buries it in backyard. Mother of child accessory to killing.

Facts are not difficult if one intentions are honest.

In your opinion what would have to happen to bring back honest journalism?

Dunno. Societies and cultures go through unpredictable cycles of corruption and renewal. IMO, the generation composed of people who were adults by default retired around about 1960. Each cohort in charge since has been worse and people are worse in their mundane lives. You see it in all kinds of ways in the realms of the aesthetic and moral. The technology gets more productive. The people operating it get worse.
