    I think the conversation between Glenn and Bill are very Interesting and they both are very strong opinions. I agree with Bill Keller. In every article you read, the journalist who wrote the story had there own point of view on the subject. It's a little hard when your writing a story not to show bias, but depending upon what subject your writing about depends on how much you show bias. If your hearing someone's opinion on a subject you don't know much about, you might agree with that person. Not knowing enough facts, you side with them. Which is sometimes the problem with opinion pieces or showing too much bias. When your reading the article your only hearing there opinion, one side of the story. They only tell you the facts they want you to hear so that you side with them. I've personally read many news story where Ive seen bias, and that's the problem, if a news story has too much personal opinion, it's not a news story, it's an opinion piece. We the journalist can't just write articles saying "news" and state little facts from both sides and state our opinion. We have to state the facts and stick to what we are, journalist, people who distribute news. Now I'm not saying that we can't just never write opinion pieces, but I feel like most news story's now a days have more opinions and bias them ever before.
