Yeah, I think it's okay for reporters to have an opinion. I also think it's okay for celebrities, athletes, and everyone to have an opinion, and also be outspoken about it.
What I don't think is okay, is to be a news network whose motto is 'fair and balanced', when day after day, they are clearly just attacking the Democrats without ever going after Republicans. This is only MO, but I don't even think many of the newsanchors really believe what they're saying. That's what's so sad, they're parroting the opinions of their superiors. Of course, people like Sean Hannity's job security is dependent on whether R's get elected or not, so in that sense, I think it becomes their opinion.
