Every fan base whines about the commentators being against their team.
Tells me that generally there is a lot of balance out there.
You can say you don't like it. And I turn can say I disagree with your opinion. And again there is a difference from disagreeing with what a commentator says v. saying they should not have said it at all. The former is fine. The latter is problematic.

That's how people like their media these days, hate to say it.
No need to be reactive about it though.
Perhaps try explaining why you think its important that we retain those opinionated/oppositional takes in the media from your insider perspective/insight rather than judging posters in a condescending manner on the internet.
I'd be willing, even eager to listen to your perspective if you offered it in an informational/debating manner rather than saying its "weird" that I don't like something or react a certain way to the panels.
That's not the way to sway people to your side of the fence. And no matter what, it's impossible to convince everybody anyways so this emotionally fuelled fued you have with the typical audience today is a futile endeavor to begin with. Maybe its time to come to terms with that emotionally? It's not worth harboring that angst towards people for being emotional and wanting to hear things that please them. People don't hold their interests and fandoms to a code of ethics unfortunately.
I do feel for you in a way, but I think it's not the best way to go about it is all.
