"The goal of this ministry is to preach the truth, not be impartial to both sides."

For some, "balance = equal time."

For some, "balance = impartial." An equal effort to hear both sides before being judgmental.

Didn't like it back in the '80s, don't like it 30 years after.

Esp. when in the '80s it was clearly a matter of faith, "evidence of things not seen", while in the '10s it's more a matter of supposed veridicality, "my truth" instead of "the truth" with a push for the two to necessarily be identical: "My truth must be the truth, your truth? Well, sod off."
