When we do this, we are able to exercise greater independence of judgment. We aren't manipulated by conceptual distortions that would lead us to misunderstand ethical issues.

The logic behind bias and propaganda in presenting the facts relevant to ethical issues is simple. Humans typically bring to situations some orientation, perspective, or point of view. Their orientation tends to color what they see and how they see it. But the truth of what is happening in any given situation is almost always more complicated than perceived by persons with a personal or vested interest in the situation. To do justice to ethical issues, we must keep our minds open to multiple ways of describing what has "happened." We must seek out the facts pointed out by our enemies as they make their case against us and not simply focus on the facts that support our outlook.
