One of the media’s worst betrayals of its own merit and existence has been to frame everything as having two valid sides. In the name of supposed ‘fairness’ in reporting, they frame all issues as if there are at least two valid sides and points of views rather than taking any basic moral stance that once actually informed the reporting of newscasters like Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather.
To that end, I have a list of topics that are not ‘both sides’ issues, and which I will always call out as morally reprehensible. If you are ok with any of these, if you think that a stance in favor of them is worthy of consideration, or if you are in any way impeding the application of justice against them, I don’t want to know you.
Racism.
Sexism.
Bigotry.
Pedophilia.
Fascism.
These are non-negotiable. There is no other side to them. If you believe it’s ok for anything of these things to exist, and for people to spew support of them, you are a part of the problem. I’m not having it here, I’m not having it on my social media feeds, and I’m not having it in my life.
Stop giving the space and allowance for this kind of hatred and these kinds of monstrosities to flourish.
