       There is a major difference between the left and the right. And journalists need to stop ‘both sidesing’ things.Because no matter how much you disagree with the left’s policy proposals, none of them set out to hurt people. After 63 years of life, I have come to realise the single distinguishing issue - equality, parity, fairness.The right is allergic to equality. Someone’s gain is always their imagined loss.

       @RemittancegirlI have a whole rant about the 'both sidesing'. Short version?'Fair and Balanced' reporting in politics does not mean downplaying terrible behavior on one side and finding fault with every peccadillo of the other in order to make the two sides seem more balanced.It means applying the same rigor and fairness to both sides. If this results in one side looking like Fascists? This is probably because that side are basically Fascists. And it's totally fair and balanced to say so.

       @Remittancegirl The Moneyed rely on an endless supply of Greater Fools.Media outlets are part of the propaganda system that tells folks "nothing to see here" as democracy burns to the ground & Wall Street orchestrates another self-dealing financial crash or profitable world war.Good journalists thwart that supply of the deluded, credulous, & naive rubes to rip off.Religions often served the same purpose, keeping the cattle calm on the drive over to the abattoir.
