Truth

Many people express concern that the free press is losing credibility claiming that the views are left leaning. As the news side moves closer to the editorial side the tendency is to present only one side of the story. This is not by accident as revealed by Lester Holt of NBC when he said "I think it’s become clear that fairness is overrated ... the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in," Holt said on Tuesday night while accepting an award at the 45th Murrow Symposium. In other words, Lester knows the truth and will present it as such. This follows the lead of Twitter head, Jack Dorsey, who proclaimed some weeks ago that he also knew the truth. This may not concern those whose truth coincides with the press but some day that may not be the case.
