> Mass media probably could stand to tone down the commentary and go back to facts - it would be nice, and we do occasionally get some really good pieces of journalism as a result of an editorial/opinion piece, but some more bare facts info would probably be better. Actually, I really like that different newspapers have different opinions, and it's even better to see those opinions defended with passion and emotion. What riles me is that the newspapers are hypocritical and choose to mute their stand on an issue when it goes against another narrative that they've chosen to project. If you, as a newspaper, have taken a stand to say, bat for freedom of expression or women's rights or whatever, then go the whole way and be passionate about it. Just don't throw that under the bus and fail to call it out when another group who you think needs your voice for another cause is also guilty.
