Yes, and that's where we fall down. Many of us are editors with purpose. They many be noble purposes, but often we ourselves have an agenda, of some sort, even if only to highlight neglected truths. Somehow though, the evil of exposing the gulag pales beside the evil of selling drugs with serious unreported side effects.
