Actually, editorials, not editorial content. That's a more generic term 
that covers everything that fills the news hole.

Nobody is objective. So real professionals have to be fair. Give both 
sides of every story. If journalists are doing their jobs, they WANT 
both sides to air and let people decide for themselves.

One of my favorite quotes is:

"The theory of a free press is that truth will emerge from free 
discussion, not that it will be presented perfectly and instantly in 
any one account." -- Walter Lippmann

That is: you have to read - always and forever. Never stop learning!!!

That's the spirit of the marketplace of ideas good journalists believe 
in. Photo and otherwise.
