Jay Ruby of Temple University offers a unique perspective in this debate
on being objective. If I understand him correctly, we as a group of people,
try to reflect that which we know, learn, and experience onto those willing
to do so. So, in effect, no matter how the project is conducted, those
doing the teaching will none-the-less be persuading the audience to
see the situation in a way that is dictated.
  Dispite all the journalistic approaches read and discussed in media
and criticism journals, this debate can never be resolved.
  As for the "Stand Up In Front Of The White House" question posed some
posts back, did anyone feel that it was a matter of aesthetics over anything
else or was the sole purpose to persuade?
