"Some in the media seem to think that a 'noble' cause justifies withholding facts on the other side"

From this Thomas Sowell article:

Some journalists — too many, in fact — do jump on the bandwagon of particular candidates or particular political agendas, and end up filtering and spinning the news as a result.

Those who are on the “global warming” bandwagon, for example, endlessly repeat that the polar ice cap in the arctic is shrinking — while filtering out the fact that the polar ice cap in the antarctic is growing.
...
Whether one is for or against the “global warming” crusade or for or against Democrats or Republicans in the White House, the truth is the truth — and filtering out facts is betraying the public that has turned to the media for information.

It is legitimate to argue for or against those who believe that global warming justifies one policy or another. That is an honest expression of opinion. But filtering the facts is not.

Some in the media seem to think that a noble cause justifies withholding facts on the other side.
