Is it even possible to have an unbiased knowledge of the world's events anymore? #Journalism, and before that word of mouth, used to be the instrument to query and then amplify awareness of events. But now there seems to be no such thing as an unbiased newsroom.

I am an amateur #genealogist, and am often searching through #newspapers of the past two centuries.

At no point are these records unbiased, in my experience. The second lesson they teach is the purpose of #journalism in the recent centuries has always been selling readers to merchants/politicians.

There was no golden age.

But they are a record of a community, through the lens of a #bias.
