I'm sorry but you should really read the Journalist Ethic Code. You should not express opinions but facts. That is your job as a journalist and I'm sick of people doing otherwise, especially engadget. "Like any other citizen, the journalist has a right to political and other convictions. However, in his/her professional activity he/she should remain neutral and objective." You present the facts undistorted and unbiased, not your own opinions and we form our own opinion! This is how it's supposed to work...

That is how it has worked for a relatively short period of time, since the appearance of modern newspapers--at the earliest, in the 1830's. With the advent of cheap, instantaneous publishing, it seems that our expectations are getting closer to the days of partisan pamphlets. I'm not really sure that this is an obviously bad thing, just different.

This was clearly marked as an 'editorial' piece.

Editorials follow a different set of principles.
