Over the last century, the phrase "objective journalism" has been used as a description of the style of reporting in order to create a surface veneer that was once the cornerstone of [[America]]'s culture. In the last few decades objectivity has been overtly replaced with malpractice which has caused the media to lose credibility. Without credibility, journalism becomes error-filled, journalistic failure, reckless journalism, Gotcha! tabloid-like reporting, scaremongering or [[yellow journalism]], outright factual inaccuracies, promotion of fact-free journalism or falsehood-spreading.
