Hello @hulabugger

Believe me, I am a Bitcoin fan for its ability to help nations be free of the US government having unfair control over them by weaponizing the US dollar. And I share the opinion that the US government should respect other nations right to self-manage themselves and not be trying to enforce their own rules on other nations.

However, journalism is a precious form of communication. It needs to remain pure so that people can trust that it is factual. In order for that, reporters have a tradition of not being allowed an opinion while doing the task of reporting. Any "newsy" information that permits the author to express opinion needs to stipulate at the head of the document that it is an "opinion piece".

For example, do we call two nations having conflicts an act of "terrorism"? No, no we would not do that. Nations may enter into combat, but terrorism is a different topic. Humans do sometimes use words incorrectly, such as when Madoff became referred to as a "financial terrorist" which is a ridiculous use of the word. It is not appropriate to label any action a form of terrorism.

True journalism does not take sides. It explains what event is happening. Now, the author does have in her blog the word "commentator" which is helpful, but each article wherein she plans to take sides she should label it "opinion". This is common practice in blogging and journalism work.

The author writes beautifully, and we would love to support her independent journalism. The important thing for us is either that bias not exist in the piece or that it be labeled opinion at the top.
