“It drives me crazy when this neutrality thing comes up. Objectivity, that great journalistic buzzword, means giving all sides a fair hearing—not treating all sides the same—particularly when all sides are not the same. When you’re neutral in a situation like Bosnia, you are an accomplice—an accomplice to genocide.”

She doesn’t seem to understand that giving a fair hearing doesn’t mean pleading a case for someone—it’s about standing back and reporting who and what and why accurately.

She’s just another of those sorts who applauds themselves for reporting that the USSR is a paradise, and when the truth comes out later can’t be found.
