So does this only work in one direction then? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:45 10
- Did I say that? You seem determined to catch me in some imagined hypocrisy... -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:51 9
  - You're saying that treating a whole side as radicals turns that whole side into radicals. I present to you as rebuttal, the last 20+ years' treatment - Reagen Sep 3, 09:59 2
    - Fwiw, I don't accuse you of hypocrisy. I think you are largely principled -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 10:05 1
      - Same here. It's important that we say these things, too. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:06
  - "A news network should be balanced and unbiased" shouldn't be a controversial opinion... -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:52 5

    - Except that there is bias in treating sides as equivalent when the sides are not at all equivalent. - TWuG Sep 3, 10:06
    - Balance and unbiased opinion, as with everything, is in the eye of the beholder. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 10:02 1
      - I would very much like the GOP to be a partner in good faith in governance. But the entire party votes in lockstep - TWuG Sep 3, 10:12
    - It's not. The debate lies in whether moving away from objective truths to cater to potential viewers is balanced and unbiased. - David Sep 3, 10:01
