Objectivity? Objectivity?! Glass houses, JD. Glass effin' houses.
Q: Trump's financial disclosures show a lot of stock trades in companies he has promoted--
JD VANCE: This is a hell of a question
Q: How can you argue you are cleaning up corruption when the president is doing this?
VANCE: C'mon man. Have a little bit of objectivity in how you ask these questions

This is unbelievable. Just a complete lack of belief in objectivity. And the BBC fucking caved to it
Michael Prescott was ‘“shocked” that after an hour-long Panorama documentary dealing with Trump and the January 6 insurgency, there was no “similar, balancing” programme about Kamala Harris.’
More read about the machinations between the BBC resignations, the more worrying it becomes

The departure of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness means the BBC is leaderless when it needs leadership more than ever. Where are the people at the head of the BBC standing up for it?

It's funny that the media fetish for "objectivity" doesn't extend to statements like this, which are obviously & ludicrously false but simply presented as fact.
President Donald Trump was somberly contemplative and unusually conciliatory after confronting what he saw as a third attempt on his life in less than two years.

When critical race theorists point out that “neutrality” and “objectivity” are often a thin veneer for white supremacy, they mean stuff like this.
An opinion writer is not allowed to criticize the paper on social media for using a Nazi source but the reporter who worked with the Nazi source was free to leave a long social media trail being buddy-buddy with the Nazi in public

Great example of the interpretation of “journalistic objectivity” that sees lobotomizing yourself as preferable to ever drawing any firm conclusions from any amount of evidence

The Times quotes the fascist Rufo so much he may as well be on staff but Kevin is "too liberal."
This is a journalistic "objectivity."

I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source.
You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"?

Nuances of language do matter. They influence how people think over time, often subconsciously. Objectivity is hard, but professional editors can do better than this.

Journalism is about objectivity, not neutrality. Neutral "journalism" is a canard.
Neutrality and objectivity are not the same. Objectivity is a slave to facts in pursuit of the truth. Neutrality is the art of presenting fact and fiction as equal.
Neutrality evelates lies. It's de facto bias.

Neutrality and objectivity are important until it’s time to describe the only person willing to explicitly name ACB’s fundamental absence of neutrality and objectivity
During a lightning round at an event tonight, Bari Weiss asked Amy Coney Barrett to describe each of her colleagues with one word.
Answers:
Roberts: Chief
Thomas: Laugh
Alito: Grandfather
Sotomayor: Lively
Kagan: Analytical
Gorsuch: Out West
Kavanaugh: Sports
Jackson: (long pause) Actor … Broadway

Dr. Nair is right and this is part of the broader appeal to objectivity in LLMs that was noted over a decade ago by Safiya Noble in her engagement with Google search.
The objectivity of the machine, which is really cis-white abled bodied male objectivity, trumps the expertise of marginalized folks.

Everything is gender, because I do see this happening to professional/expert women a lot. At least some of this is ‘surely you, a woman, can’t be right when this LLM is saying otherwise’
This is part of a pattern I've started to notice: There are people out there who are loudly committed to off-loading their work to chatbots and come seeking my validation for their position.

Working on a new journalism glossary. To access journalism we add complicity journalism—willful naïveté—& collaborationist journalism. Today’s term: objectivity theater, in which a reporter hides under cover of objectivity their previous failure to understand the story.
