The fact that “neutral” pundits continue to carry water for the lie that a majority of Americans support what is happening to trans people is further evidence that “neutrality” isn’t journalism at all. It’s not holding power to account. It’s reinforcing power and repeating propaganda - ThreadSky

These self-proclaimed centrists are ravenous for societal purges while maintaining a façade of neutrality

“Neutrality” isn’t one of the central tenets of journalism ethics but not going out of your way to harm people is. With that in mind, most of the mainstream coverage of so-called “trans issues” openly flouts journalistic ethics

Remember, “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.” Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor. Words to live by

Neutrality in media is just DEI for extreme right arguments. They aren't included based on their merit.

Absolutely deplorable.

So-called "neutrality" in journalism is active complicity. When you give equal weight to lies, you’re helping to shape the narrative that suits the powerful, all while pretending to stay above the fray. Pathetic.

Funny how “neutral” can be translated to “whatever the safest opinion least likely to get me fired”. Any pundit who sells themselves as a centrist is by nature a liar as they all have opinions. As liars it is easy for them to adopt all the anti trans talking points to help w/e grift they are running

People sometimes erroneously think the center of 2 sides any discussion is something to strive for and not just a thing that over time.

Neutrality creates false equivalencies.

Neutrality is *supposed* to be about calling out lies and *not* about taking sides by providing a fucking smoke screen to one side's lies.

That isn't neutrality, by going along with lies you are taking the side of the liar.
