I'm not a fan of that either, since while in theory the editorial board and
the newsroom are seperate bodies, one still affects the other. I actually
agree with the broadcasters' stance, as do many in the region, but is it
really fair to present one side of the argument (anti-sale) but not the
other? At least newspapers have that option, since their resources are
supposed to be devoted to coverage that is as balanced as possible.
