During an episode of her podcast &#8220;Next Question,&#8221; she stated, &#8220;I think there&#8217;s no such thing as true objectivity,&#8221; highlighting her struggle with media bias and the evolving standards of journalism. Couric argued that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israeli-soccer-player-arrested-charged-in-turkey-after-standing-in-solidarity-with-israeli-hostages\/\" title=\"Israeli soccer player arrested in Turkey for supporting Israeli hostages\">expressing personal beliefs<\/a> about issues like reproductive rights or transgender rights is now more acceptable, contrasting with her training in conventional media, where such advocacy was discouraged. She remarked that only older viewers might still value the old-fashioned standards of semi-objective journalism. This stance has drawn criticism for perpetuating a perceived bias against conservatives in the media. Couric&#8217;s comments reflect a significant shift in the media landscape, challenging the notion of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >impartial reporting amid rising partisan narratives<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Liberal Media Scream: Katie Couric calls news objectivity &lsquo;old fashioned&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2102950\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>She was once the queen of TV news, and as the co-host of NBC&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nbc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><em>Today show<\/em><\/a>  and anchor of CBS Evening News, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/1116073389638572\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Katie Couric<\/a> struggled with basic news objectivity.<\/p>\n<p>And now we know why: She doesn&rsquo;t believe there is such a thing. &ldquo;I think there&rsquo;s no such thing as true objectivity,&rdquo;
