There is no such thing as Objective Journalism. There is (or at least was) such a thing as journalists trying their level best to be objective. Today, more often that not, I read reports written by people clearly trying to please their bosses and hold that job. And the less objectivity, the greater the need for all perspectives.

Censorship is never the answer. Teach critical reading.
