That is not the point though. They have a duty to be accurately informative
and unbiased. I may be old fashioned but I don't think the news reader
should even express an opinion if it can be in any way controversial, just
report the news and leave 'opinion' to current affairs shows. Otherwise we
might as well just watch the Simpsons and have Homer give us all the latest
gen'.
