This connects directly with your frequent argument about the failure of the press, which seems to have bought in and/or been beaten into the notion that "objectivity" means either taking what you're told at face value, or looking for an equivalence between sides. To discover, prove, and report that one side - oh, let's call then "Republicans" - is primarily engaged in ratfckery while the other side isn't, would be advocacy, and not real grown-up journalism.
