So true. Somewhere along the way, the media came to regard blnaace as the pinnacle of journalism. Balance is a false goal. If you have a spokesman opposed to child rape would you bring on a proponent for blnaace? If you have someone commenting on the roundness of the Earth would you bring on someone to argue that it is actually flat just so you can say you covered both sides? Of course not.The primary goal of journalism is not blnaace, but truth. And you do not need an advocate of lies to blnaace that perspective.
