I don't pretend to be centrist or nonpartisan, I am a proud leftist through and through. So when I write editorials, I expect people to take them as editorials, they are not necessarily factual but they are my vision of what should be. I don't mind editorialists, they may be annoying or against my views but they are simply expressing their opinions.
What bothers me is editorialists who work under the guise of being a news reporter. Yes, all news has a bias, but there is a certain amount of objectivity that all news agencies have. Fox News is the most obvious example of this editorialization, with its endless commentary and its conveniently-coincidental employment of right wing commentators and former politicians, but one major perpetrator of this that I personally am bothered by is the Huffington Post. It is their combination of editorializing and sensationalistic pieces that are obviously slanted to the liberal left that make them one of the most unreliable news sources around. Although they may not claim to be a traditional news agency, they are becoming more popular and read all over the country.
If you want good news sources, stick to BBC, AP, PBS Newshour, and NPR. Yes, they are bias, but they keep the sensationalism out of the news.
