Perplexingly, Downie Jr claims his goals were instead "accuracy, fairness, nonpartisanship, accountability and the pursuit of truth."
Does he not realize all of these lead to objectivity?
Downie Jr writes that he followed Bradlee by insisting that WaPo journalists abstain from political activity or advocacy.
But he forgets to mention that Bradlee himself was very close to JFK. Perhaps Bradlee's pro-Democrat stance motivated him to target Republican President Nixon, who had won an election by a landslide, decimating his Democrat opponent.
Downie Jr. complains that the mainstream news media is coping with "digital disruption, along with increasing competition from misinformation on cable television and the internet."
What he is actually upset about is their lack of monopoly over the news narrative.
Downie Jr went on to unknowingly expose his bias by citing every overstated spurious claim usually made by far-left MSNBC pundits to claim that America is going through an upheaval.
"...discrimination against and abuse of women; persistent racism and white nationalism; police brutality and killings; the treatment of LGBTQ+ people; income inequality and social problems; immigration and the treatment of immigrants; the causes and effects of climate change; voting rights and election inequality; and even the very survival of our democracy."
Downey Jr. then consulted with his colleagues in the business, such as WaPo executive editor Sally Buzbee, the San Francisco Chronicle editor-in-chief Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, USAToday editor-in-chief Nicole Carroll, Los Angeles Times editor Kevin Merida, and CBS's Claudia Milne, etc. to confirm his bias.
They all refer to the importance of diversity of gender, ethnic origins, race, culture, LGBTQ+, etc. to replace objectivity.
Downey Jr. also recommends a diversity of economic, educational, geographic, and social backgrounds.
As always, they exclude the most important kind of diversity which is the diversity of perspective.
The only diversity of thinking is among left, far left, and socialist.
This is because being factual is no longer the goal.
In the current climate, if they discover a colleague who is liberal but isn't as committed to the cause, that colleague is harassed and purged out of their system.
Dissenting views are forbidden in modern news rooms.
These outlets are mouthpieces for the Democrats and willingly and knowingly carried hoaxes such as Trump-Russia collusion or the January 6 insurrection or various other hoaxes about Trump.
Hiring Trump supporters would resolve the problem, they would debunks all their hoaxes.
The goal wasn't to report facts, but to force Trump out of the office and now to force Trump out of politics.
But the likes of Downey Jr. fail to see this as a bias.In their sanctimonious minds, Trump is the problem and it is their duty to use all means possible to force him out of politics....

USA Today's rigorous search for blackface in old yearbooks exposed the shameful past of one of its own editors
In recent months, politicians on both sides of the aisle have been swept up in scandals over their youthful dabbling in blackface - the practice of white people darkening their skin to portray racist stereotypes of African-Americans.
USA TODAY wanted to know just how widespread this offensive practice has been, so they went through 900 yearbooks from the 1970s and 80s, and found a disturbing amount of students posing in blackface, KKK robes, and even staging mock "lynchings" - and the practice was by no means limited to schools in the South.
Perhaps the most astonishing moment, however, came when they stumbled across an image in one yearbook at Arizona State University, depicting a couple dressed in blackface as Mike Tyson and Robin Givens. The editor of that yearbook was none other than USA TODAY editor-in-chief Nicole Carroll.
Carroll, who swears she has no recollection of including the image, penned a mortified apology in her paper.
