Comment on In a post-truth world truth-seeking is more importantparent

We lived for a while in a world where reporters cared about the truth about the events they were reporting on.

You only lived in a world where you couldn’t tell that they didn’t. All that changed is your awareness of their biases.

Nope. I mean, they always had biases, and they affected what they said, but much less so than today. Then they tried to not be affected by their biases, and now they don't.

So, while it's not binary, it's as I said before: The difference really matters.
