True or False: journalism requires objectivity.

The answer nowadays is... complicated.

Critics of mainstream media have long since written us off as phonies, unable to live up to our own standards of being objective and unbiased. I have an idea for a new way forward: one that preserves objectivity in a more sustainable and defensible way. I call it Clinical Journalism.

How does Clinical Journalism work? And how would it handle issues like racism and sexism, where there is no "middle ground"? I'm not a fan of middle ground either... frankly, there's somewhere much better to stand.
