"Some say that journalists should strive to be “neutral”
I disagree....
When remaining “neutral” is used as an excuse to avoid stating uncomfortable truths — truths that might offend the powerful or the public — that is not journalism.
That is cowardice."

"If one politician states that it is raining, and another politician states that it is sunny, a journalist who simply quotes both politicians is not only being lazy, but is also FAILING at journalism.
A journalist's job is not simply to quote whatever a politician says.
A journalist's job is to “check the weather” and then report on the accuracy or inaccuracy of what has been said."
"Truth demands the free press pull no punches, even it that appears to be 'taking sides.' (Taking the side of truth is the media's job.)"
-Jennifer Rubin
