Wesley Lowery's column on moral clarity and journalism made a lot of great points. I also really appreciated this response to it https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/opinion/journalism-debate.html

Particularly this quote: "I still believe in both-sides journalism. “A place of moral clarity” can easily mean there is only one truth, and if you deviate from it, you are done for."

"The liberal idea that freedom is served by open debate, even with people holding repugnant views, is worth defending. If conformity wins, democracy dies."

This is not an argument against Lowery's argument. It's a supplementary note of caution. On Twitter, "moral clarity" means my way or the highway, too often.

But I think Lowery hit the nail on the head in a lot of ways. The attempt to be fair yet truthful and overcome personal bias is incredibly difficult. It's also one of the challenges that makes journalism fulfilling.
