He rejected the notion that journalism is based on objectivity and said that he views "journalists as activists because journalism at its best — and indeed history at its best — is all about morality."  Thus, "Journalists need to be overt and candid advocates for social justice, and it's hard to do that under the constraints of objectivity."
