Journalistic rules of neutrality:
If a Republican says / does something shocking / bigoted / dangerous, ask yourself:
1) *did* they?
if yes:
2) but really, *did* they?
if yes:
3) *was* it shocking / bigoted / dangerous?
if yes:
4) but really, *was* it?
if yes:
5) but what if something else?
and:
6) what about that thing that Democrat did that time?
