He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion… Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them…he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

    Reason magazine and ReasonTV. I can’t defend or totally justify it but I wonder whether they are more propaganda than journalism or news but they have very plausible positions on many things I actually am synpathetic to. I dunno

      Oh interesting, I’ve never really taken libertarian positions seriously but that might be worth a look.
