Well, I meant "balanced" compared to the one-sided, feminized cancel cultural article on new atheism I linked to. As I said, if you ask a liberal or a conservative atheist what happened, each would blame the other side and defend their side. I blame both sides because I see through the rhetoric of the political spectrum (links below).

But yes, I see that "balance" can be understood as different from "objectivity." Yet you seem to be relying on a technical distinction that eludes me.

"Balanced" has to do with being evenly distributed or in a state of equilibrium. I contrasted this sense with the one-sided partisanship that ignores the faults with both liberalism and conservatism. You see that both sides of the partisan political divide in the US might be to blame if you step outside the sideshow of that culture war to see what's really going on at a deeper level of analysis, as I've tried to do in other articles.
