Joel agreed. Neutrality is simply providing air time as opposed to honest questioning and accountability.

Preparation is vital for good interviewing. The best are thorough, like Chris Wallace and Johnathon Swan. Jake Tapper is also excellent in this regard.

Journalists must also be great listeners like Bob Woodward, Charlie Rose, and Jim Lehrer

Personality popularity can be allowed to precede talent: Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo were CNN's examples.

Best to you.
