When my wife was in J-school almost fifteen years ago, she came to me with a monograph and asked me to read it, so she could confirm her initial opinion of the piece.
It was written by a professor of journalism from Columbia, and the subject was the propriety of a journalist injecting their political opinion into hard news.
After reading it, we found we were in complete agreement on the author's thesis...it's okay to for the journalist to inject their political opinion if they have REALLY REALLY agonized over whether they should do it or not.
I'm not kidding.

Ha! Good story. So typical.
It is OK, as long as after they are done agonizing, they go on to espouse a Leftist point-of-view, right?
