Newsweek's Evan Thomas dances around the topic of "objectivity"

It's a tag awarded to oneself by oneself--the "objective" reporter." Newsweek's Evan Thomas nevertheless shows it's a meaningless standard--it doesn't exist:

• "Had the voting franchise been restricted to reporters,

• neither Richard Nixon nor Ronald Reagan would have been elected president."
