People often accuse new sources of not offering a balanced view. I dont understand why anyone would hope to find a news source that balances .... what? As much falsehood as truth? THings a journalist believes with things he doesnt? A moralistic perspective and an amoral one? Its the hypothetical ideal dreamed of by the lazy. A true empirical researcher wants to see each point of view presented as convincingly as possible, without actual fabrication, in order to get a multivalent picture. I have yet to hear any convincing explanation of what is inherently wrong with bias, or why the existence of preference or inclination (bias) should disqualify anyone from expressing how things look from that point of view.
