There is no such thing as balanced as that implies a natural neutral point. It's like saying you want to hear arguments both for and agains murdering children. All you're doing is filtering for people that conform to YOUR pre-conceived notions.

It does not, professional journalists are able to provide two different points of views in their articles, granted they work for a professional publication. I'm not sure where you're from, but seemingly it isn't very popular in the US, but in other countries it does exist.

I'm trying to filter away people using overly emotional language, regardless of their political or moral leanings. I don't care if you're up, right, down or left, using clickbait language gives me reservations about even listening to the author.

  • Are those “professional journalists” in the room with us right now? … because the media has made a conscious effort to fire anyone unbiased for the last 20 years
