Huntley and Brinkley - the last time I heard impartial journalism. One memory is body count numbers in Vietnam. Simple reporting. No crocodile tears.

Actual journalists at least occasionally tell both sides of a story.

In some cases based on my opinion.
Fact vs Fiction
True Journalism is based on facts backed up by real evidence not hearsay, guessing and a reporters personal agenda.
Activism is based on an agenda and personal feeling not always based on fact.
The best example I can think of over the last 15 to 20 years would be global warming.
This is just my opinion though.
