The bets way to address a problem is to point it out.  If we just ignore it because both sides do it then nothing then it just gets worse.

Gets worser if both sides DON'T do it and no one points THAT out.

SELECTIVE hypocrisy is really bad.  VERY DIFFERENT from general comprehensive hypocrisy. Somehow.

You are probably wondering what happens if there isn't an example from the other side to "balance" your critique? 

Well if the other side doesn't cooperate, then YOUR post is unbalanced because you only called one side out. 

That is one of the MSM's favorite tricks--to allow Fox and friends to daily push news beyond reporting and analysis into direct propaganda, then leave you hanging out there "selectively" talking about actual examples of Fox hypocrisy with no "balance" from the NYT or WaPo.
