QED…

Impartiality in news reporting shouldn’t just be about if someone has a view, inviting someone with an opposing view on to counter them - if one side states "it’s raining outside this window" and the other disagrees, the interviewer’s/reporter’s job should be to open the curtains to check if it’s raining, not let either side spout on about unsupported statements.

If you think that the Victorian Pencil™ or The Vulcan are impartial because their statements and world-view aligns with yours, you may need to re-check your definition of "impartial"…
