Americans must cease believing in the myth of pure objectivity. It simply does not exist. I cannot, for instance, be “fair and evenhanded” with someone like Joseph Mengele. Try to imagine a newscaster saying:

“Today we are interviewing Joseph Mengele. Is he a torturer and murderer of innocent human beings, or a scientist bravely pushing the envelope? Is this Nazi a misunderstood man? We report—and you decide!”

The very premise that the MSM can be “above the fray” is intrinsically impossible. Human beings are not made like that. Media outlets should return to the era when they boldly declared their biases to the general public. All of them should pattern themselves after the National Review or The Nation.
