    I think it’s okay to have opinion pieces in media as long as it is labeled as such with “editorial” for example. That’s a part of democracy, not every media needs to be as neutral as Reuters and AFP.

      Yeah editorials are fine, but they need to be marked that way. Most media outlets claiming they are “news” nowadays are primarily editorial in nature, and don’t specify that anywhere.

      How many hours a day do channels like Fox News actually have news segments versus all the editorial opinion shows? At what point should they no longer be allowed to claim they are a “news” channel or paper?
