2. The literal job of an Editorial is to give opinion

based on information that said publication has covered over time from days to years, that's their field of expertise.

It's the same as if you're purchasing a house and a paid for professional home inspector refuses to give a report on the condition of the property from the crawl space to attic, only much more serious because the Presidency affects the entire nation, not to mention the world.

News coverage; in itself should be objective, but no living human is perfectly objective, we all have our bias.

That's the danger of a heavily conglomerated or monopolized media, with just a handful of extremely wealthy owners; their personal and financial interests increasingly diverge from that of the people or nation.

They come to fear the 1st Amendment and want to control it.

That's why Elon Musk; born and raised in apartheid South Africa carrying his emotional baggage from that era bought Twitter, he wanted to control the dialogue.
