Some political philosophies are more amenable to truth and accuracy than others. Facts
about how the world is do not have any necessary connection to beliefs about how the world
should be. Beliefs are not constrained by reality, facts are. Any overlap is
coincidental.
Cheers,
Peter

Do you think remaining politically neutral is compatible with
remaining accurate?
I would say yes. Let me put two converse questions to you. Do you believe truth and
accuracy are to be found only at one ppint on the spectrum of political belief? Do you
believe that facts about (how the world is) are identical with beliefs about (how the
world ought to be)?
