NEUTRAL_ADVOCATE

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."
