and everyone knew what that line was because politics wasn't life, it was a part of life.
Recently, and not unusually (there's been plenty of periods where this has also happened) politics became life. Wars, Civil Wars, a lot of the social upheaval in the depression, civil rights, etc.
We're just in one of those periods and we're currently populated with people that haven't really experienced that.
Journalism/The First Amendment is today considered with the idea of a professional journalist class, but that's a new invention (partially invented by Mizzou.) They're supposed to be neutral reporters of the situation/government/whatever, but that's not the historical norm of a reporter. The norm you expect as a citizen is for them to be neutral, but that was all an invention to create this class of people, again, partially at Mizzou.
Most of the time in the world, and our country prior to the professional class journalist, most of our news and journalism was extremely biased. Today is more the historical norm than whatever neutral bull**** biased thing you had as a kid.
This is the norm journalism-wise because the norm for people is to hate and fight for what's right. Almost like a public debate.
The professional journalists were supposed to stay unbiased based on their professional training at a college. They haven't, they never could, and the Mizzou Journalism School as well as every other journalism school is an absolute joke once it became apparent that you can't eliminate bias from reporting because reporters, editors, and publishers are biased, despite what they pretend to learn in journalism school.
So welcome to the post-professional journalist world, you've been here forever but we got some famous alumni journalists out of the bargain as Mizzou fans.
