Should News Casters Be Allowed To Voice Their Own Opinions?

Tweet

Reporting the news used to be an art form. Reporters were renowned for their bravery in getting the scoop on something regardless of the peril or for the class they showed on the small screen. They would be given their sheets and they would read the facts, just the facts. The news these days has become both a popularity contest as well as a spin tool. First they tried getting actractive female news anchors but that fad soon ended and now all they do is voice opinions. You get like five seconds of facts and twenty minutes of opinion. Guests that come onto shows get berated for expressing their views and then don't even get a chance to lay out the facts. Its now a bully system on the news. I head yesterday the Democratic party wants to revert the news back to the old way of getting the news out. An alloted amount of time for each piece and then thats it. Republicans can't argue with that since it neither serves them or the Democrats. I'm all for it. What do you think?
