"*News* is something somebody doesn't want printed; all else is
advertising."
- William *Randolph Hearst*

Nobody can honestly be objective. The human brain is designed to link
information and memory with emotions, thus loading the dice against
objectivity. You can only "sound" objective, using techniques that either
help you appear to balance perspectives or sterilize a piece of writing.
