It’s almost funny, in a sad way, that so many journalists expect us to think they approach the news in anything resembling an objective manner.
NBC News senior media reporter Dylan Byers is apparently under the impression that we should feel bad for journalists who expose their biases on a widely read platform like Twitter:
Politico editor-in-chief @harrispolitico has spent nearly 35 years building a reputation as a fair and high-minded reporter … So when he became a target of conservative criticism due to a tweet … it left a few staffers feeling disappointed and perplexed https://t.co/K23VZp9FAC

Cry us a river.
Wow people's entire career being overlooked because of one Tweet some people didn't like? When has that ever happened before? https://t.co/kwsOiIO8DC

Your side makes sport out of finding a single tweet they don't like and ruining someone's life. Enjoy the new rules.

The Left and SJWs built this. The Left and SJWs made that happen.

They’ve definitely showed their hand. No doubt about that.

Heh.
I’d much rather the bias be out in the open and media outlets strive to be more ideologically diverse, but they’d rather lie and feign neutrality.

Seriously. Just be honest. At least we could respect that a little bit.
I remember getting so angry in 2012 when Candy Crowley jumped in the second 2012 debate and started arguing with Romney. It's gotten so much worse than that since then.
