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)?
