"That is the spirit, after all, of the primary goal journalistically in our objective news reporting -- to share a range of facts, perspectives and visuals to help readers better understand issues at hand and inform their reactions -- so why shouldn't that serve as inspiration for my column?"

Why shouldn't it? Because the inspiration and spirit from instructors/leaders in journalism is changing (or already has) - and is no longer about informing, sharing a range, and helping readers understand? It's becoming a promotion of a certain point of view and the discouragement/dismissal of another one?
