I believe in some news stations there is objectivity hidden in there somewhere. It is just so hard to tell this day in age, with so much information being spread around. It is so easy for someone to make up results, ideas, or “facts” to be reported about in the news. There are still news stations who claim that all of their information is strictly based on facts and scientific polls done correctly, but truthfully we would never be able to know for sure unless we saw the facts ourselves, or watch the polls in progress. Unfortunately, that is a problem we face with news coverage, journalism, and online information. In my opinion, I believe they all have the same amount of the objectivity we strive to see.
I usually do not listen to talk radio to receive my political information. I mostly will watch debates and the news, when they time comes, and also receive some information online. I do know you have to be cautious about what sites you are visiting to receive your information, but if you find the correct ones it will be good information. With that said, talk radio does not affect my view of politics, because I do not listen to it.
I think media objectivity is very important, because it can be unbiased facts. If these facts are unbiased, it is easier for people to see these facts and form their own opinion about what they believe. A lot of people question the existence of objectivity in journalism, because it is incredibly hard to have unbiased facts. It kind of makes me think if there is actually such a thing.
