So, by and large, network news anchors are celebrities first, and objective news reporters second???So then I was right with my second scenario. Mr. Brokaw dares to do things that you donât approve of. Oh, the temerity.
You are addressing one of the main issues in journalism today: there is to be a âtensionâ between those reported on and those doing the reporting. You canât be objective when youâve been wined and dined at the White House the evening before as weâve found out - when you are a recognized fund raiser and supporter of a party or a candidate, one canât be âobjectiveâ at all as we have all seen. And tragically, when your commitment is so strong that you seek to obsessively âdestroyâ - your news reporting loses all credibility.So, by and large, network news anchors are celebrities first, and objective news reporters second???
Tom, Dan, and Peter claim to be objective. They claim to be âabove partisanshipâ and âunbiasedâ.

Surely you can see that. No?
