Net Neutrality is "positive AND accurate", sure. But for a useful survey the phrasing should be just accurate, and neither positive or negative, if you don't want bias.

The example of negative phrasing I provided is intentionally over the top, just to illustrate the point.

Is it bias if the accurate description naturally leans to one direction?

Isn't that like saying I'm biased if I describe Earth as an oblate spheroid instead of "roundish shape up to interpretation"?

I'm firmly opposed to the notion that you need to cater to both sides of an issue and meet in the middle, when the legitimacy of both sides are clearly assymetric.

No, but you should be confident about that.

Sure, if you feel it's clear.
