But stories do have multiple sides, even if one side is flat out wrong.
I don't think anyone on the right or left would say that the present problem with Journalists is that they present both sides too well.
That's not to say that there's never a correct position. Assuming there is another version is different from assuming all versions are on multiple footing.
- bsder 7y agoMy standard argument about this is: vax vs anti-vax. There are NOT two equal sides. There is a correct side and an outright fraudulent side and bunch of easily swayed morons. Journalists tend to cover this with "balance" instead of calling one side flat-out wrong. "Fair" means occasionally calling out liars and pissing people off.
