It is possible to be impartial, but it comes with consequences. If we look at investigative journalists, they make sure they put out the news the way the collect it. Many of them receive death threats. Many have lost their lives in the process. Some knew when to leave, others wanted to persist. The latest case in Cameroon was of the late journalist Martinez Zogo, who had uncovered a fraudulent system.. Unfortunately, he did not complete it. But it's possible to report without taking sides.
