Objectivity is racist

[LWW]

I always enjoy these types of threads that try to point out instances of non-racism to discredit the rampant racism on the right. Silly.

You mean like when FDR put a klansman on the SCOTUS?

Or when JFK broke a treaty with Native Americans. that had been signed by Washington?

Or when FDR jailed 200K citizens solely because of skin color?

Or when Bill and Hillary were both mentored by klansmen?

Those republicans?

Read a book.

Is there "rampant" racism anywhere in the US?

Is there "rampant" racism anywhere in the US?

It's probably not even rampant on the left.

Objectivity in journalism promotes racism.

https://journalismresearchnews.org/d...in-journalism/

However, the author argues that the calls to rediscover objectivity do not recognize how racism is fundamentally intertwined with the epistemic foundations of journalism, rather than being external to it. Therefore, objectivity reflects rather than challenges racist hierarchies.
There are three areas and notions where objectivity is seen to legitimize racist perspectives in journalism and society. First, the notion of journalistic autonomy that sees the process of making news separate from the reality it represents. Second, the limitation of objective facts and truth in mitigating inequality and ensuring non-racist and anti-racist journalistic work. Third, the idea of professional objective journalist is often normalized around the white male professional

When will the Twitter mob tire of this ridiculous drivel? If i had written a paper with crap like that for Junior high history, I'd of gotten a well deserved F

"Objectivity Has Got To Go": News Leaders Call For End Of Objective Journalism | ZeroHedge

We previously discussed the movement in journalism schools to get rid of principles of objectivity in journalism. Advocacy journalism is the new touchstone in the media even as polls show that trust in the media is plummeting. Now, former executive editor for The Washington Post Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward have released the results of their interviews with over 75 media leaders and concluded that objectivity is now considered reactionary and even harmful. Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, editor-in-chief at the San Francisco Chronicle said it plainly: “Objectivity has got to go.”


Notably, while Bob Woodword and others have finally admitted that the Russian collusion coverage lacked objectivity and resulted in false reporting, media figures are pushing even harder against objectivity as a core value in journalism.


We have been discussing the rise of advocacy journalism and the rejection of objectivity in journalism schools. Writers, editors, commentators, and academics have embraced rising calls for censorship and speech controls, including President-elect Joe Biden and his key advisers. This movement includes academics rejecting the very concept of objectivity in journalism in favor of open advocacy.


Columbia Journalism Dean and New Yorker writer Steve Coll decried how the First Amendment right to freedom of speech was being “weaponized” to protect disinformation. In an interview with The Stanford Daily, Stanford journalism professor, Ted Glasser, insisted that journalism needed to “free itself from this notion of objectivity to develop a sense of social justice.”


He rejected the notion that journalism is based on objectivity and said that he views “journalists as activists because journalism at its best — and indeed history at its best — is all about morality.”


Thus, “Journalists need to be overt and candid advocates for social justice, and it’s hard to do that under the constraints of objectivity.”


Lauren Wolfe, the fired freelance editor for the New York Times, has not only gone public to defend her pro-Biden tweet but published a piece titled “I’m a Biased Journalist and I’m Okay With That.”


Former New York Times writer (and now Howard University Journalism Professor) Nikole Hannah-Jones is a leading voice for advocacy journalism.


Indeed, Hannah-Jones has declared “all journalism is activism.” Her 1619 Project has been challenged as deeply flawed and she has a long record as a journalist of intolerance, controversial positions on rioting, and fostering conspiracy theories. Hannah-Jones would later help lead the effort at the Times to get rid of an editor and apologize for publishing a column from Sen. Tom Cotten as inaccurate and inflammatory.


Polls show trust in the media at an all-time low with less than 20 percent of citizens trusting television or print media. Yet, reporters and academics continue to destroy the core principles that sustain journalism and ultimately the role of a free press in our society. Notably, writers who have been repeatedly charged with false or misleading columns are some of the greatest advocates for dropping objectivity in journalism.


Now the leaders of media companies are joining this self-destructive movement. They are not speaking of columnists or cable hosts who routinely share opinions. They are speaking of actual journalists, the people who are relied upon to report the news.


Saying that “Objectivity has got to go” is, of course, liberating. You can dispense with the necessities of neutrality and balance. You can cater to your “base” like columnists and opinion writers. Sharing the opposing view is now dismissed as “bothsidesism.” Done. No need to give credence to opposing views. It is a familiar reality for those of us in higher education, which has been increasingly intolerant of opposing or dissenting views.

So what I read was, in short, "We cannot promote our agenda with facts, so it should now be ok to lie to push the narrative."

That's the whole point. Racism is assumed each time a black person under preforms, or dies in a shooting, doesn't get a job or has to spend the night in jail for carjacking.
No proof required where the outcome differs to the disfavor of blacks it was the invisable white dude. Straight, middle class, capitalist, conservative, family oriented oldish, rural white dude. You know the worst of the worst

So, pointing out where racism is being called, when there isn't racism, is rampant racism?

I would be interested in examples of your claim that racism is 'rampant' on 'the right'. Not individuals, but actual actions that are attributed to 'the right'. If it's 'rampant' then they should be easy to find, eh?

Now you're getting it!. if you are white or probably asian you are racist
