What is good writing?

Apart from being, clear and simple with sheer readability, good writing is honest writing. The purpose of writing is to tell something that others need to know. If writing is not honest, how does it tell people what they need to know? Dishonest writing is bad writing. Bad writing does not refer to poorly expressed ideas. Bad writing refers to dishonest writing that has a evil agenda, one that seeks to oppress, marginalise or dehumanise others.
