Here is something I read that amazed me about media bias, and this should make it into the textbooks. It's a quote from a letter by 44 "journalists of color" who work for the Philadelphia Inquirer, sent to the newspaper. The letter is in response to a June 2nd op-ed piece the paper ran titled "Buildings Matter Too" that these 44 journalists didn't agree with. I find their response a little breathtaking, due to their unvarnished
admittance that they have discarded all semblance of balanced reporting and that they actually put this in writing!

“We’re tired of seeing our words and photos twisted to fit a narrative that does not reflect our reality,” the letter stated. “We’re tired of being told to show both sides of issues there are no two sides of.”

Please tell me if this article about these journalists' letter, and also what they said in meetings with the paper's management, amazed you as much as it did me! (and of course, the newspaper completely caved to these journalists' demands . . .)
