    The “both sides” issue derives from a fundamental misunderstanding of objectivity. Journalists must be guided by objectivity of method in the process of verification. That does not mean striving for the appearance of balance. The truth is not a fucking math equation.

        It is the Foxification on the news, "fair and balanced", as if reality cares about whether you are fair to it.

        Sincere Q: are there enough undecided voters left to actually appeal to? Isn't trump's batshade insanity simply geared to turning out his base? & since nutbars are still in the minority, if Dems vote, they win. None of which explains complicit Rs too afraid to speak up.

        There are nonvoters who still don't know what's going on. They see news as "negative" background noise and tune it out.

        Not sure I agree here. Example: GOP talking points=bullshit. See? It's math.

        and the 'both sides' doesn't qualify (or quantify) the chasm between bad-faith arguments and good-faith arguments. especially since the bad-faith argument so often leads to harm; bad-faith becomes an actual public threat.

        Sometimes it means saying no, rejecting the "other" narrative entirely. Instead, journalists seem to cover this administration like it's a criminal trial, giving both sides of every little issue as if they fear improperly influencing the jury.
