Yet "accurate and impartial" beats "fair and balanced" as "accurate" is fair++ and "impartial" is as it has to be as it is the public
broadcaster .. they do a damn good job and the Hanson want could be more easily used to dilute the "accurate" of important stories ..

i take your point there are instances where the "impartial" bit could test a felt social obligation .. it's a point well made .. the ABC does a
responsible job of stretching the "impartial" at times, which of course gives ammo to the more extreme conservative cause in it's call for change.

"balanced" would open the floodgates to 'false equivalence'.
