      Just so people are aware moving forward. I'm a registered Democrat, have been my entire life, and that's going to inform my perspective on the upcoming primary (because in a very limited sense) I'm an active participant. Voted for Bernie in 2016. So take from that what you will.

      Obviously I prioritize a host of other concerns over fidelity to any candidate, because journalistically/analytically that's incumbent on me. But I'm also a citizen, with voting interests. (And I wish journalists would stop denying that.)

      Mistrust of journalists often stems from a mistrust of motives. Well, I'm transparent as possible about my motives (and self-critical! or at least try to be). Social media has made transparency in this regard a lot more common than it used to be, but there's still a big problem.

          People, including journalists, aren’t always honest with themselves. They think themselves objective. But when a journalist doesn’t acknowledge that their opinion is in fact an opinion, those who disagree often feel they’re being manipulated, condescended and lied to.

          you are doing great, bc that’s my view of journalism: - journalists should report the different views of the facts - then they should describe their own objective perception of the facts - finally, an opinion that will be biased based on their specific (publicly known) background

          The problem is that it has made transparency more common but the media still proclaims neutrality while they cheerlead the Left on social media.

          I disagree with you 85% of the time you are unquestionably the most honest opinion journo on this website. Thoughtful also, even though I disagree with a lot of those thoughts.

          This is why I follow you. Even when I may disagree, I know that you are sincere. I watch Jimmy Dore from time to time, no ulterior motive, no deception. I always know when someone is lying, to me or themselves. Thank you for you honestly and fairness. It is recognized by many.

          My mistrust of journalists has NOTHING to do w/motives. I distrust journalists because the work product quality is lousy. If airplane designers produced a similar quality, the planes would be falling from the sky & I'd mistrust them too. Improve your quality & trust will improve
