I actually do make a distinction here when it comes to news outlets of this sort that publish editorials. I don't have any issue with media outlets giving a platform to views I disagree with. The issue is when engaging with those views and talking about why they shouldn't be held is deemed immoral. But that's a whole other topic. I agree that they tend to put up more ill-considered commentary than perhaps I'd like, but hey, even the Guardian does have the counterpoint from time to time:

Note that I'm not talking about pseudo-news outlets like Salon or Gawker; I consider those to basically be twitter without a character limit.
