I was saying:

   When everything you
   hear is biased in
   one direction, a
   neutral viewpoint
   is heard as a
   contrary argument.

   Maybe it's not possible
   to be neutral in a
   partisan world.



          Neutrality can mean taking a side,
          when one side is against neutrality.



              "There is also a question about
              media. The media are in two parts:
              part of the machine, the
              propaganda system; the other part
              wants to be objective, but
              that's hard, so they usually
              settle for being even-handed,
              which is not the same."
