In practice it tends to be more cathartic than constructive. The advocate is always going to have a greater stake in their cause than the middle man. I wrote my original comment that way because I prefer to discuss strategies for advocates. I am actually critical of mass media, I just let other people do the criticizing. You make a good point about appearing neutral. Next time I'll try a different approach to inviting a different type of discussion.
