Re: TRUE OBJECTIVITY
I'm continually amazed by how terms like "obviously left-leaning" get used without any explanation or substantiation in these discussions. Is it "obviously left-leaning" because it's different than the rest of the media, because it goes into more depth of context, or raises uncomfortable questions, or draws from historians, scholars and people with actual experience with the issues being discussed? Or is it just because the overall prevalent political and cultural winds are shrieking from the right, thereby making anything somewhat objective or thoughtful appear "left-leaning"?

Re: TRUE OBJECTIVITY
The middle ground between "left" and "right" is "truth".
"Truth" is neither "left" or "right", it is simply the truth. When "truth" is ignored for a particular "leaning", often enough, we all fall down.
