Riding the middle of 2 polarized parties is not serving anyone effectively. The right is far right and the left is very left. Who does the middle appeal to today?
Firstly I disagree that the left is very left. centrist and blue dog democrats run the party and viciously attack progressives and the squad, even more so than they do their opponents, republicans
To the main point, balance should never be the goal when reporting the news, facts and objective truths should be the goal
Person A says the earth is spherical in shape
person B disputes the statement and claims the earth is flat
There's only one way to report a news like that, which is person B is wrong
you don't seek balance where there's none.
