Objectivity No Longer a Priority in the Media

It's a travesty and a blatant gorge of the freedom of speech right in the constitution. Along with newspapers another of America's past times is being demolished and deemed virtually ineffectual, objectivity in reporting the news.

Fox News Corporation is a prime example of the growing media sources that no longer practices what is preached in top journalism universities around the nation, unbiased, impartial, and neutral reporting. I for one am both disgusted and saddened by this dissipation of an American ideal that has in part created a place for Americans to know what's going on in the world without political agenda's interfering.

Fox News has created hateful ideology and displayed unpatriotic views in their stance on President Barack Obama's agenda for change time and time again. It is not Obama's policies or agenda that they so forcefully feel the need to attack, but what Obama represents. In part many feel that the station attacks Obama because he is an African American man who showcases both signs of intelligence and steadfast perseverance that has rarely been seen on a the grand stage of American Politics.

Many on Fox News have viciously attacked a president who not only inherited a country in upwards of a trillion dollar deficit, but a country that was forced into a war by, what many have concluded, the worst president in American history. The attacks on Obama have come on his character in a time that only fits the unpatriotic. Many who did not agree with George Bush's political decisions supported him because when he succeeds we all succeed.

Obama has the support of many but those who attack him seem to be on a never ending personal vendetta that came long before Obama stepped foot in office. The constitution affords everyone the right to freedom of speech, but for the individuals who use this as an excuse to demolish the long standing ideals of American reporting is unconscionable.

Some that have been interviewed on both Fox News and other outlets admit that they want Obama to fail, in retrospect wanting America to fail in order to prove a point that if validated isn't worth proving at all. Rush Limbaugh is one that has a general hatred for President Obama and a personal grudge that is both dangerous and repulsive. To know that you have children living in a country that you want to fail because of a childish feud is sordid.

To many Obama will never do anything right, because what he stands for they wish to silence. They, like far too many, have no digity or selflessness to realize that even though you may not agree with the president that the interest of the country is what's most important. Those few are in the minority, but must still be addressed.

Fox News isn't the only station that has decimated the ideal of objectivity. Many left wing rooted stations have also added to the destruction. It is ridiculous that a citizen can no longer enjoy the comforts of watching the dire issues of the world without being bombarded with the opinion of unfair reporters.

I for one am afraid of the future that these reporters are creating. It is people like Limbaugh, the true terrorist, who attack the fortified growth of a nation. The hateful bigotry is only a display of a self-loathing that can only be ailed with self-mediation and self-realization. The realization that hate only leads to a rupture of the foundation of a country that trendsetters like Obama affords us all.

One-hundred percent objectivity can never be achieved because we are human, but the pursuit to achieve it is what creates the maturation of model reporting. Peter Jennings would 'roll over in his grave' if he could see what American reporting has come to.
