How nice it must be to have news show hosts who actually have opinions. We should try that in Britain. The closest we get to an interesting news presenter is Jeremy Paxman, and it's part of his job to be completely impartial in everything.

But when that happens it's no longer news - the news has to be objective by definition (Ofcom knows this and enforces it)

If you want opinion, read a newspaper (or opinion-paper as they should be called in Britain), go on internet forums, or watch opinion programmes - like The Big Questions on BBC One.

I don't mean news as such - Freedom Watch wasn't necessarily a news show - but something like what Judge Napolitano used to do. We have nothing like that.

As for the newspapers, you have a choice between sensationalism, idealist socialism, Rupert Murdoch and what is increasingly becoming a women's magazine (the Telegraph).
