中立根本不存在，所以沒有「假中立」？

很多人會用「每個人都有立場，所以中立根本不存在」來合理化某些創作者立場偏頗去陳述事實的狀況

這其實是偷換概念。

「自身立場中立」、跟「盡量以中立的方式陳述事實」，是兩件事情

一般在批評這種帶風向的行為時，批評的是「刻意隱瞞重要前後文，只呈現部分資訊」，或是「忽略關鍵之處，無限放大以大局來看完全不重要的地方」的手法

而中立的陳述事實，是指「盡量以能讓更多人了解事情的全貌的方式去呈現資訊」。這是就算本身有立場，也能同時盡力去做的

希望能釐清這兩點的不同。

寫這篇的目的（包含我過去寫的很多文）目的不在跟什麼人戰，而是不要讓很多人被這樣偷渡的邏輯忽悠過去了。

我認為，大部分一般人，能做的只是做好自己份內能做到的事，對這些事產生太多的憤怒，戰來戰去就是浪費時間。

善用自己的關注，過好自己的生活，就是你能做的最大的貢獻。行有餘力，再去試著改變別人

同時，作為閱聽人，批評外界的同時，也不要期待大環境會自己改善。大部分人花太多時間關注外部資訊，太少時間內觀省思、提升自己的生活

其實倒不如說，正是因為現在大環境是這樣，人民的識讀能力才能夠慢慢被訓練起來吧

"Everyone is biased and therefore true neutrality does not exist" is an argument I often see made to justify biased, misleading content produced by some content creators.

This is a conflation of two different ideas, purposefully or not.

"Having a neutral position" and "stating facts in a neutral, non-misleading way" are two different things.

Criticisms about having a bias are mostly directed towards tactics involving "hiding important context while revealing partial information" or "omitting the crucial and magnifying minor details of little importance in the big picture"

"Stating facts without misleading" means "presenting information so as to inform people of the whole picture", which is possible even for someone holding a certain position.

I've seen this argument too many times to not write a post to clarify the difference.

The purpose of this post was not to argue with anyone, but to break down the flaw of this notion that I constantly see thrown around, in order to equip those who haven't spent the time to do so with the ability to see through it.

In my opinion, most spend too much time and attention being concerned with the outside world which they have no control over, and too little on their inner mind and improving their own lives, over which they have control.

Criticize what is wrong as you may, but at the same time, don't expect the world to change the way you desire.

To offer a different perspective, it is only in a situation as bad as this, that people will be forced to improve their media literacy. Is it definitively a bad thing?
