Since you agree that the factual assertion in the title is correct, what exactly do you mean when you accuse it of editorializing?

- JadeNB 15y agoEditorialising is not making false statements; it is making value judgements. EDIT: I wanted to clarify a bit more the distinction I mean to draw between 'factual' and 'true'. "Schneier hands former TSA boss his ass" is (for a reasonable definition of the terms) 'true', but so, presumably, is "Former TSA boss attempts to spread message in an unsympathetic forum". I would call both versions true but editorial ('editorialistic'?); whereas I would call something like "87% of people polled disagree with former TSA boss on security measures" factual.
