General Discussion

Newspapers in this country have been printing opinions (and opinions they don't agree with) since before the Declaration of Independence. It's part of freedom of the press. You or I may not agree with what the writer says, but they have a right to say it under our Constitution ... the same Constitution and rights that we're battling now to keep intact.

The only way this could be anything close to bias was if they did like Fox does - all of their crap is reported without any indication of opinion because, of course, they agree with it. This piece was clearly marked as "opinion," as it should have been. CNN did absolutely nothing wrong. Anyone standing up for our democracy should be standing up for their right to print this as opinion.

The lines between news and opinion have certainly become blurred in recent years. But newspaper opinion pieces are and always will be different than news.

People would be saving themselves a lot of stress by realizing that opinion pieces will always be there in newspapers (and on properly managed news sites). As I said earlier, it's all part of freedom of the press -- something we all know and love. Well, at least those of us on this side of the aisle.
