23. It's not partisan to speak truth to power

It's not partisan to call out lies
It's not partisan to correct misinformation
It's not partisan to point out and explain the facts

What is partisan is to curry favor to one side who consistently lies, misinforms, and propagandize. What is partisan is to prioritize profits and shareholder wealth over actual journalism. It is a betrayal to the profession, to the public, to democracy and to the country.
