No such thing as Unbiased

Is it the job of a journalist to rake up all the nitty-gritty details to place someone in a certain light? Or is it their job to tell the simple truth?  In my opinion, there is no such thing as complete unbias.  Every single person on this planet has grown up with different circumstances, different experiences that shape their opinions and perspectives.  It is impossible to state a real “bird’s eye view” of a situation, no matter how controversial it may be.  On that note, journalism is an essential building block of society, without it we would not progress or evolve.  Like the group said, “Journalists hold a mirror up to society,” forcing citizens to look at one another and question if everything is morally straight.  Below is a link to a YouTube video called “Pakistani Truth News” I just thought the title was a bit ironic… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9NrFNggpd0

            I really liked how the presenting group brought the class into the discussion by asking questions to the class as a whole, and giving an incentive (Dove chocolates).  http://www.dovechocolate.com/  It was a clever and fun perspective of their project that added to their already well-researched and presented topic. 

            Below is a link to an article questioning whether or not journalists are really digging deep to find the truth in the world today.  I found it to be quite interesting and made me do a mental double-take in questioning the intentions of our journalists today.
