objective journalism?

I was recently listening to Boomer and Carton on wfan, when a topic came up that i thought related perfectly to this class. They were talking about Peter Vecsey, a sportswriter for the NY post, who apparently referred to them as "clowns" on another show. Boomer and Carton were very much bothered by this and Craig Carton went on to bash Vecsey for once taking a $60,000 loan from the owner of the New Jersey Nets, so he could buy a house in Shelter Island. The problem with this is that Vecsey covers the team. Knowing that he has such ties to the teams owner, how could you believe he is covering the team objectively? This is clearly a major conflict of interest and a true case of media corruption.
