English Language & Usage Asked by Ross Coull on February 26, 2021
I’m looking for a noun that describes a person or group of people that see all sides of an argument, but not take any sides or make any judgements from those sides. They simply acknowledge all sides of the argument and, as an example, if they were a news source, they display that information for the reader to decide their view on. Any ideas?
An impartial observer or dispassionate observer.
Impartial
not partial or biased : treating or affecting all equally
or dispassionate.
not influenced by strong feeling
especially : not affected by personal or emotional involvement
