yes, but i hear more and more people calling for 'an edge' and similar in reporting too. 'take a stand', they say

Oh don't stop on my account - it's interesting to hear a professional talk.

And indeed I agree with you. Journalists should give a neutral voice generally. But opinion pieces and TV reviews are there so you can hear the person talk. And that's what I think Caitlin Moran does so well.

I wouldn't want to read something like that by Robert Fisk, for example.

i would love to go on, but since it seems we totally agree it has become rather difficult

But I so like talking to you.
