Hmmm. Given our press struggle to operate within the actual law I doubt they give anything other than lip service to hifalutin ethical codes.
I wish it wasn't this way though. To my mind the most corrosive aspect to public in life in both the UK and the US is not bias, per se, but the slide towards news as entertainment, with everything reduced to simple plot lines and extreme characterisation. I'm fairly sure that explains how a reality TV star is in the running for president, and how voters woke up the day after the referendum regretting their vote for Brexit as they confused reality for a VR game.

Interesting post, but my point was simply about measuring bias. And it's not what "I" want. Journalism is a profession with it's own ethical code.

It may be out of date/obsolete, but that's what I was referring to.
