the notion of "partisan" implies that having no position is better--closer to "objectivity" as if (a) that existed and (b) if it did exist, having positions drifts you away from it. that seems to me nonsense. if your information intake is shot through with unexamined assumptions, that wont be fixed in any way by positioning yourself as a centrist.
and no, it is not that case that "all opinions are of equal merit."
