This site features news and commentary about
the use and abuse of political labels by journalists and others.It
holds that political labels should be avoided in objective
news reporting. Such labels typically are presumptuous and prejudicial, and
only rarely contribute to common understanding.
The issue of
political labels in news reporting has sprouted a cottage industry of
pundits and numbers crunchers as to which journalists and news services
supposedly are biased, based on how or how often they use particular
political labels. This site takes the position that the best way to avoid
accusations of political bias
is to avoid political labels,
unless sourced.
News reports might still be
biased, but political labels won't be the issue.
