How does one counter the journalist’s own biases. While you have clarified that the fake news media and ‘godi’ media have an agenda to push, are we assuming that independent media only state the facts and don’t let their biases come in the way of their reporting? How can we be sure they’re not doing the same as the other sections of the media?
Thanks for pointing these out. Like I said, the framework of 'fake news media', 'godi media' and independent media is a starting point..I intend to deal with implicit bias in independent journalism at a later point. For further reading, here's a piece titled, "How implicit bias works in journalism". https://niemanreports.org/articles/how-implicit-bias-works-in-journalism/
(If you don't have the time, I will address the points this piece makes later.) Your point of course, if very well made, because everyone has biases.
