I feel that as parties have learned how to abuse the "neutrality" of the media, a lot of real reporting has moved to the opinions section.
...where it mingles with content that clearly belongs in the opinion section and away from "news".
This creates a real problem - if people who want to know if any claim is TRUE rather than just hearing the claims of the various parties to a dispute, they move to these opinion sections (and opinion organizations). This gives the credibility of objective reporting to those that aren't even claiming to be objective.
I want my reporting to mention when something isn't proven...but also to not be victims of battles over the Overton window.
