Honestly, I think other than reporting on current polls and the bare facts of political candidates platforms and actions, the news should just shut the hell up about politics. You can't simply quote parts of a politician's speech at his/her own rally and call it a day. That just comes off as an article in favour of that politician. I don't care if it's Harper, Layton, Ignatieff, or whoever; biased reporting is biased reporting. And sure, of course I enjoy reading editorials and opinions, especially when they endorse my own views, everyone does, but I do not want to see editorials nor these pseudo-reports on political rallies in my google news feed, I have that there to learn what is going on in my country, not why one politician thinks he is better than everyone. And for fuck's sake Calgary Sun, (and I like to think I'd say this even if it was a candidate I liked) an editorial is never front page headline news.
