What is the middle ground between the truth and a lie? What is the middle ground between democracy and dictatorship?

An examination of the flawed premise behind the so-called "moderate" frame in politics, and how a warped notion of journalistic "neutrality" can aid and abet anti-democratic forces.

@georgelakoff I tend to agree here. However, my mom (2x Trump voter) now watches CNN and not exclusively Fox. I feel like she has been deradicalizing a bit now that she has a non-Fox option. I don’t like what’s been done at CNN, but seeing the affect on one of my family members makes me think there could be a positive.
