There's a "view from nowhere" version of impartiality that's baked into the genes of the US mainstream press, and it's requiring greater and greater bits of acrobatics to sell the illusion of normalcy. To the point where the cognitive dissonance is unavoidable.

Kinda like the reporting of police. “Gun discharged in officer involved shooting” for officer shot his leg.

I understand that far, I suppose. I just don't see where the determination to faux impartiality arises.

I will never forget 9/11, when what appeared to be two airliners appeared to collide with the twin towers, which then appeared to collapse. Was it cause and effect? Did it even happen? What is the “I” remembering this? Sadly our senses and thoughts are unreliable.
