As people in the newsroom will tell you, I am a nuance fanatic. Put simply, if something isn’t nuanced, I generally don’t believe it. The desire for simplicity leads to the temptation to simplify. The results: polarization and bad policy.

So I love Whitney Eulich’s story today, for the same reasons I loved Francine Kiefer’s last week. We all must have the freedom to make up our own minds about a difficult issue like immigration. But essential to that is actually understanding the complex portrait of what is happening.
