Hearing @bobbymagill's arguing for so-called "neutrality" I immediately thought of @jayrosen_nyu's "View from Nowhere" criticism of journalism.
Neutrality is a myth. Journalists' aim should instead be truth-telling.

.@bobbymagill since when does accurately describing reality, "smack of activism?"
You spoke as if you'd "never heard of the abuse of neutrality that puts the journalist on the wrong side of truth telling." (quote from @jayrosen_nyu)

Serious question, @bobbymagill: When *would* you call it a #ClimateEmergency? We're headed toward catastrophic, irreversible warming.
Optimistic warnings... IPCC: 100s of millions of lives threatened. Global investors: financial crisis almost 4 times that of 2008's crisis.

Given what's at stake, given the urgency... that @DoctorVive and @bobbymagill were even debating "Climate Change" vs "Climate Emergency" struck me as absurd.
