Either there are reliable forms of media which can be held to the standard of being 'balanced' or all media is suspect and we can't trust any of it. If you claim that I could not discovery the troubles of a political campaign except through an unbalanced source, then there cannot, in principle, be a balanced source regarding political campaigns. In which case, it is somewhat disingenuous to be crying 'Foul'.
