  5. "A woman is dead, and he’s already on television sanding down the moral edges, redirecting consequence away from power, and trying to make 'wait for more facts' sound like a substitute for basic decency."

  10. "There could not be a more grisly method, even when it involves no violence, to cover up ghastly crimes committed by a people than to indulge in the fallacy of false equivalence. In this fallacy, two incomparable things are compared and declared to be equal because there are always two sides to the story."

  11. The APnews top headline of the day is about how both parties are preparing for post-election lawsuits.

    It makes it sound like they're equivalent.

    One party is suing to break the system. To disqualify votes. To cast doubt on the whole process. In order to legitimize their attempts to seize power even when they get fewer votes.

    The other party is suing to make sure every vote counts and the results are respected.

    They are not the same.

  21. "It’s also a bilateral marvel, applying the same standards to #BothSides & pressing them for answers on where they stand. As opposed to propagating #FalseEquivalency, however, the formula yields unmistakable distinctions: #Harris is a reasonable, conventional #politician playing for support among traditional #Democratic constituencies, & not so eager to discuss #policy changes that might endanger it; #Trump is a lying, confused and hate-filled candidate motivated not by ideas but by impulses."

  31. "But when we allow the cult of Both Sides to shape our own minds, ethical judgement and factual investigation disappear, and with them any chance for constitutional order and democracy.

    Ethical judgement would involve a notion of right and wrong, which the activity of the priests erodes. The worse the evil of one side, the more artfully it must be forgiven, and the more viciously the other side must be berated."

  36. "These are, rather, articles of faith. Once accepted, they enable the public performance we wrongly call 'media.' Both-Sideism does not mediate but mystify. Its practitioners, called 'anchors' or 'publishers,' are shamans or priests. Mystifiers. …

    All shamans do this: they insist that their dogma must be our reality."

  41. Timothy Snyder offers brilliant analysis of the "dualist cult" of both-sidesism that rules the roost in US corporate media, and reflects the expectations of the American people. It's a kind of religion, he says,

    "No data from the world around us indicates that two is the correct number of perspectives, nor that any two perspectives, once chosen, would be equal."
