Factchecker, those were not journalists in WWII, those were then propagandists. Journalists observe and report. They do not take a side. Much like the journalist who took pictures of the little boy crouching down as a vulture was about to snack on him. Observe and report, without any bias in that reporting.
A journalist is almost never neutral. Journalists in WWII never said, "And now for the NAZI point of view we take you to....". Sometimes there is a right and a wrong. The demand for equal time has created the myth that all opinions are valid and all sides are moral.
Why is a 'journalist' on any side? Their single point of view is neutrality. They document, they do not judge. LOL, what am I thinking this is 2023, no such thing as a 'journalist'.

Edward R Murrow was a journalist. Walter Cronkite was a journalist. But when journalist is presented with two sets of facts and he knows one of them is a lie, it is his duty to say so otherwise he is just repeating lies.
