Especially the chapter about staying as objective as possible and refraining from lying?

LOL. I was wondering the same thing. It seems as if almost all journalist must have failed their ethics in reporting classes. I was a journalism major and the most important thing I was taught was to remain neutral at all times. People don't want to know your opinion; just report the facts.

It is really hard to find objective reporting anywhere. Everything seems to be niche editorial "reporting".
No matter what your leanings, often times you end up getting your news from sources which have a similar world view as your own.
That is why I don't watch any network news; much easier to go online get dozens of news outlets stories and get a little more variety of spin.

No kidding! They're a bunch of super tight conservatives who think spinning is reporting!
