Yups. A real impartial read would just describe the events without favoring any party. A bit like those Nazi documentaries that repeat on Discovery Channel at night in my region. They describe the horrors without any value judgment.
- aninhumer 9y agoThere is no such thing as a "real impartial read". Any communication of information will inevitably be limited, and the way that limitation manifests will be influenced by the subjectivity of the person communicating. The documentaries may present the facts they choose to include in a more dispassionate style than other sources, but this should not be confused with objectivity.
- cies 9y agoSure. But still we talk about impartiality in news. Just give the facts, do not give value judgment (in sharp contrast to Orwell's book). I never said it is 100% objective, they just clearly avoid siding with any party in those documentaries.
- Emma_Goldman 9y agoRight, but the criteria used to choose the facts, what the facts are, and how and by who they are to be communicated, are not value-neutral choices.

- hutzlibu 9y agoHe did simply described what he saw and experienced. And he liked the spirit in the militia and so he wrote about it. And since he did not join the fascists, he could not and did not wrote, how the experience was for them. Not more. And all the ugly things he saw, stealing, dirt, unprofessionalism, etc. he states very clearly.
