John Walcott: Truth is not subjective
"Does the truth lie halfway between say, slavery and abolition, or between segregation and civil rights, or between communism and democracy?

If you write an article that's critical of John McCain, are you then obligated to devote an identical number of words to criticism of Barack Obama, and vice versa?"
