Modern News Headlines Blur Opinion And Fact

Some say that old-fashioned, objective journalism no longer exists – that major media have abandoned their longstanding commitment to restricting their social, political, and personal views to the editorial pages. Could this be true? Here is a sampling of headlines from The Washington Post’s digital newsletter earlier this week: * Trump to flee Washington and seek rehabilitation in a MAGA oasis: Florida * Undeterred, Biden will push unity in a capital locked down after an insurrection * How Twitter, on the front lines of history, finally decided to ban Trump * Joe Biden has already shown us that governing is back * As Trump exits Washington, he tells the modest crowd, “We’ll be back in some form.” * Trump ends it all with one final scam Are these headlines factual? Are they unbiased? You decide.
