But then, always the epistemological problem: what IS Truth. Is there any such thing as “objectivity,” when there are always as many perspectives as there are points of view (points from which each person views). This conundrum formed the foundation of my doctoral dissertation in philosophy.

My father, too. He was in the Phillipines, as a surgeon with the Army. I heard the news with my mom and grandma and aunts. It floored me that they celebrated, knowing that it might have saved my dad’s life. But for me, (born two years and eight months earlier, only weeks after the first fission experiment under a sports stadium in Chicago), and it’s still true for me, the horror of using the nuclear bomb, especially deliberately on cities! — overrode personal concerns.

A vast number depends largely on msm for ALL news and one would think that at some point in time ‘news-makers’ might begin to stumble upon the line between fact and fiction.

The question becomes . . . ‘Are news agencies actually legally required to report unbiased Truth or at the very least, validated accounts of issues that may be of vital importance in the main?’

True Journalism could go a very long way toward righting the sinking ship that Integrity has become.
