Objectivity cont.
Previously we looked at how Fox News was openly opinionated; now if we look at the British Broadcasting Corporation we see good objectivity. They tell the news straight-up with little to no opinions present. If you want real news, one must pay attention to the BBC. I also questioned a correlation between higher ratings and the domination of opinions over objectivity. I don't have a clear answer but noticed that MSNBC was openly opinionated and also received some very high ratings. These types of approaches are, as Mike Wallace says, "easier, cheaper, and more profitable than old-fashioned objectivity." That is the reason behind all of these companies being open about there opinions, money. Money is what drives everything in our world. Basically everything can be linked back to money.
