The opinion journals are almost naturally biased. Although the purer news sources tend toward the center, those sources of grist for debates cleave anywhere but the center. Trying to put together a center-tending opinion journal would make one neurotic. It is impossible to reconcile diametric opposites. If one sees someone who supposedly reconciles extremists of the extreme Left and Right, as was so with Otto and Gregor Strasser (the Nazis who wanted emphasis on the 'socialist claims of Nazism while seeing Jews as rapacious degenerates incapable of being genuine socialists, then such suggests the similarity of extremists.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
