Less employees and less time means that news rooms will, if they already don't, have less objectivity. This is partially the corporation's fault by limiting the journalists sounding board through limiting the number of employees on staff. The point is who has time to step back and see if there has been any bias during campaign coverage and correct it? They don't. If it is ignored and no fault is admitted they can keep trucking along and produce more content for the next day. Admitting media bias would take up precious time and resources that a waning news staff (no matter the medium) doesn't have time to address... which is the reason media bias is allowed in the first place. The sad part is that we can expect to see more of this in the future if people, like you Gordon, don't continue to point it out.
