It's called "activist journalism" and it got it's start at Harvard back in the early 70's.
Prior to that time, "journalists" were supposed to be detached from the story, to relate facts about the matter, not injecting anyone's opinion unless it was that of a person involved in the story.
This detachment done to maintain the integrity of the "Fourth Estate", which is the media, in order for it to do it's job of monitoring government to assist the "Third Estate", the common person, in counterbalancing the power of government.
Since the 70's, journalism is taught that it is perfectly OK to become involved in the story, even pressing issues into the story in order to accomplish the "journalists" agenda(s).
The result of that is what we have now. A media that has become lock-step with the government now in power, fully embracing the ideologies of socialism, political correctness, censorship, and control.
I think I'll go load some more ammo...
