Unbiased journalism is not pretending both sides are equally valid. Unbiased journalism is reporting the facts even if those facts include that one side is irredeemably awful. False neutrality is propaganda.

Repeated for emphasis: False neutrality is propaganda.

if 99 experts say one thing, and 1 expert says another, presenting both sides as equal is misinformation

also when you pay a hobo to wear a labcoat it does not count as ‘expert says’

Reblogging again because this message needs to be heard more often still.

Two sides of an argument are not always equally valid.

False neutrality is propaganda.
