27. Reporting is one thing--opining is another

To report what's going on in the Hunter Biden case is fine, but to state this may have "election consequences" is an opinion, not fact.

This is the whole "horse race" crap that the media loves, regardless of political bent. Ratings, ratings, ratings. With 7x24 news they have to over-dramatize everything.
