I don't feel challenged or engaged by any writer whose position on any given subject is such that I can guess what they're going to say before they even start writing. I like to read balanced, well researched material, not essays by people with an agenda to push, unless I have deliberately set out to investigate that agenda for myself.
Yesterday's fromt page lead in the Guardian, which (like the BBC) sought to talk up the possibility of mass protest at every possible opportunity, strayed beyond factual journalism and well into leader-writing territory, yet it was presented as a straight news story.
Incidentally, I would make broadly the same criticism of the Daily Mail, before you all conclude I'm some narrow-minded Tory-voting little Englander
