    The Keller and Greenwald debate generated many thought provoking ideas. Both Keller and Greenwald presented strong arguments as to whether journalism should only be impartial or not. While I agree with Keller that news containing opinion is more interesting, I believe Greenwald's point that news should not influence the reader is much more important. Biased news takes away a persons liberty to develop their own opinion. Readers often favor their favorite writers and news anchors whose opinions may sometimes contain flaws. Journalists who are biased will often shy away from the facts on both sides in attempt to fortify their opinion. Instead of producing impartial news, journalists today are presenting unhelpful information. As a Journalists I think it's important that we produce news that's is objective with relevant facts that do not favor one side or the other. This allows readers to not only to become aware of society's current news, but also to formulate their own opinion. The freedom of developing your own opinion may help settle both national and international disputes.
