*rework*

When it comes to the topic of media, most of us will readily agree that journalists are held back
by certain restraints such as pandering, biases, and the ever changing public mood especially in
times of war. Where this argument usually ends, however, is on the question of is this a good or
bad thing. Whereas some are convinced that these obstacles have not gone far enough, others
maintain that the cost is our objectivity in favor of bias and subjectivity.
