A reporter shows what's going on, they don't hide from it on some moral high ground while wearing blinders. Our job is to show the world as it is, not as we wish it were by hiding from it.
Our job is to WRITE AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
And we're doing a pretty poor job of it if we DELIBERATELY OMIT RELEVANT, NPOV INFORMATION.
NPOV, ultimately, is the best "moral code" I think we can hope for. Both in terms of general acceptance and in terms of balancing the occasionally-competing needs of being informative and not being "evil."
