The perils of false equivalencies
It is admirable to want to apply the same standards to both sides, but straining to manufacture false equivalencies does not accomplish that; sometimes, honestly applying the same standards to each side will result in a finding that one side, at least in that regard, is actually worse. When that is the case, a person engaged in truly independent, non-ideological inquiry -- rather than the pretense of such -- will expressly acknowledge the imbalance, not concoct an equivalency where it does not exist.
