OPINION & COMMENT

Blind Journalistic Balance

When writing about worldwide terror, the media struggle to be politically correct (PC) and journalistically neutral. To most of them, this means that if there is a conflict, they should strive to report the perspectives of both sides to the conflict without favoring either side; to produce what they call "balanced" reports.
