In arguing for truth, NBC anchor justifies bias

The news anchor for a major broadcast network says journalism has a responsibility to the truth more than to fairness – but that news outlets get to determine what s true.
In a recent speech accepting a journalism award from the University of Washington, Lester Holt
(pictured) – anchor of NBC s Nightly News – said there s not always the need to give both sides to a story:
Holt: I think it s become clearer that fairness is overrated …. The idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in. That the sun sets in the west is a fact. Any contrary view does not deserve our time or attention.
