There's plenty of room for opinion in news but the risk is you will end up with a conversation that is totally abstracted from the substance of the issue. You're not longer talking about facts but instead debating the merits of other people's opinions. This tends to close the door on any chance the reader/viewer could formulate their own unique opinion. At best they can walk away with an opinion about competing opinions. The echo chamber effect of modern news is probably one of the worst things that has ever happened to this country. If you repeat an opinion often enough you can make it become fact.
