This cover is 1) Worshipful in a way that is extremely unbecoming and frankly alarming from an ostensible news organization, 2) Not anything resembling what Kamala Harris looks like. This looks like an entirely different person.

Why do you think media is no longer discrete/afraid about portraying political bias?

1. elimination of the fairness doctrine (Obama) 2. Columbia School of Journalism eliminating "objectivity" from ethical standards and replacing with "empowering narratives". (look it up)

Pretty wild history on the "fairness" doctrine. -Republicans had it abolished in 85 -Democrats had it brought back in 05 -Republicans had it removed again (during the Obama administration, but not at his specific request, he approved over 80 deregulations in one executive order) It was abolished because it was made during a time when media content was scarce, so access to "both sides" was severely limited. At this point most agreed it was a free speech violation. The details of CSJ's decision, made after a full panel discussion on the topic, shed much more light on it. They removed it because it was impossible to enforce. Claiming journalism was objective, when it clearly wasn't and can't ever be, was actually gaslighting people. Maybe the reason why progressives own MSM now; they hid under false objectivity. Enter /dropglobalnews to save the day! Legacy journalism is dead. https://magazine.columbia.edu/article/objectivity-journalism-even-possible

Most are shocked to find this all started under Reagan, and for complex reasons. My opinion is that removing it had long reaching unintended consequences that now play out over modern social media. The issue isn't forcing impossible objectivity standards, but more the fact that oligopoly media and governments are de-facto establishing opaque standards of truth without any possibility of public redress. As such, those standards will always be biased to serve those setting them.
