In an ideal world, ‘objective’ or ‘balanced’ information would present all the for and against, and leave you to weigh this up and draw conclusions. In the real world, however, we recognize that all information presents a position of , although this may not necessarily be intentional. Objectivity may therefore be an unachievable ideal. This means that the onus is on you as the reader and user of the information to a critical awareness of the positions represented in what you read, and to take account of this when you interpret the information.
