Exactly, and demonstrated beautifully by John Oliver: https://youtu.be/cjuGCJJUGsg https://youtu.be/cjuGCJJUGsg An aim at 'balance' is part of the problem because it's not an aim at facts or truth.

Aiming at balance is politicians providing themselves supposed reasons to maintain the status quo or move in counter-factual directions.
