Would you prefer their agendas and beliefs were hidden?
I honestly don't know anything about her, so no idea what your issue with her is... but on this, she isn't wrong. I don't need to repeat what I feel about Trump, but it is frustrating that certain people only wake up to his incompetence when it hits them personally.
She has won local and national emmys for news coverage presentation, peabody award, edward r murrow awards, far from a so called jouranlist...maybe she tweets that as a child of two parents who emigrated to usa and as a child of interracial marriage
Journalists are supposed to be impartial and objective. She does not fit that definition and hasn't for a long time.
Unfortunately, she is not alone in the business.
You think they dont vote? Trish Regan was not objective or impartial a few weeks back and now she is currently out of a job
They can vote for whoever they want. They can believe whatever they want. When it comes to their profession, they have a duty to present news in a fact-based, objective manner. They must leave their opinions out of it. That's what journalism is.
If Trish Regan (I've heard the name, don't know anything else about her) was not objective and impartial, then it's good she's out of a job in journalism. She shouldn't have had it in the first place if that's the case.
Exactly, but we shouldn't hold them to a standard where they need to be impartial on twitter.
They are allowed to have an express their opinions and beliefs. It shouldn't impact how they report if they are good journalists. No idea on the journalist in question here though.
People should be able to express their opinions, but also be prepared for how others will view your credibility. Using the referee analogy, what if a Big East referee constantly posted negative opinions on their FB or Instagram account about one or two coaches in the league?
Better late then ever.Hope more trump admirers figure him out. That he is CLUELESS .
It's not like a reporter is walking into a trade negotiation and calling fouls. Politicians are a bit different as they are our representatives and leadership. We should all have opinions on them.
I don’t see anything wrong with reporters sharing their opinion, even if they have strong opinions.
Could it impact their credibility? Sure, but I don't think it should impact any differently than a journalist who doesn't share their personal beliefs. At least we know where one of them stands.
It could actually enhance their credibility as well if there was a reporter you know to be liberal in their personal beliefs being critical of democrats or conservative reporter / republican politicians.
As I said before, everyone is entitled to their opinion, even journalists. Showing a constant bias, or having your opinions leak into how you report news strikes at the very core of your credibility. And I also agree that a journalist who has strong opinions that crossover various groups, parties and organizations while at the same time separating those opinions from when they report news, adds to their credibility, not detracts.
Again, I really don't know anything about this reporter, so this is not about her.
During a large influx of border crossings in 2015, we did detain unaccompanied minors crossing the border with the intention of transporting them out within 3 days.
Under this administration, we implemented a policy of deterrence by separating children from their families.
That's not to say the Obama admin handled it perfectly, but circumstances around each action were quite different.
