If I choose to pretend I sometimes play at being a journalist, I can't/won't take a side on this issue regardless, or more importantly, because of my views. It is well excepted that one either 'goes to the circus, or reports on the circus.' To do both shows bias and is not considered quality journalism. To have passion for a cause is not a bad thing, nor is reporting about it, nor is being an advocate for ideas. One should only be certain of the choice of hat worn at the time.

This is neither a comment on the subject nor the way it is being reported.
