Unbiased should not mean "always making it look like both parties are right". That is bias on itself. If I lie about you, really lie, objective non-biased thing is not to say "watwut and cyberlurker disagreed, the truth is in the middle".

I agree. I should have said "how can the NYT not come across looking biased" on the issues of masks and climate change (or any issue with a scientific consensus that one side inexplicably challenges).
