I completely disagree - the main purpose of the journal is to expose _facts_. It's, of course, impossible to dissociate those facts from opinions they are always written by people, and people will always hold an opinion over subjects, whether they want or not. But the best journalists thrive to separate their opinion from facts and make it clear to readers when it's one or the other.
