Re:How objectivity in journalism became a matter of opinion

Seems like the news sections on many wikis might be pretty close to that. For example, in Wikipedia's 'In the News' section right now:
> Comet NEOWISE (pictured) is visible to the naked eye in the Northern Hemisphere.
Or from the Mario Wiki news section:
> Donkey Kong Country was released on Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online on July 15, 2020.
A completely objective news source would probably be that sort of thing for every story on the site. They'd be about two paragraphs long, be almost a bullet point list of facts and dates, and likely not be all that interesting to read.

But I guess it could be possible.
