Slowly, I step out of the Intercity train to Amsterdam, en route to university; I'm tired, I need some coffee. I check my watch and realise my metro leaves in 3 minutes, so I need to hurry in order to and buy me a coffee-to-go, and make it on time to the metro platform. I pick up my pace to run, as Mike Skinner would say.

"Are you seriously suggesting the media stop writing opinional pieces? I don't get you, I'm sorry."
Obviously. Forget it, I'm not going to try and explain it to you either. Don't make assumptions of what I do and don't understand about the concept of "the media". The difference between your stuff and opinions and editorials I read in "the media", is that the latter hold credibility, at least for me. They're written as opinions and editorials, not as farfetched fantasy novels. But maybe that's just because I pick and choose the media I read. Too bad that OSnews is degrading to a medium I choose not to.
"If that fantasy is used to convey a point strongly related to the website and its focus-- why not?"
Too bad you forgot to make the actual point you want to convey. Maybe I missed it, I dunno, but I'm used to reading articles which make sense.

When Thom says; 'pick up a newspaper'. He doesn't mean a porn mag (The Sun?). If you read a REAL (UK) newspaper like the Times, or Telegraph. You'll notice that many of the columns are written in this style. This is because they are aimed at intelligent people who appreciate a bit of gentle whit in their life.

I think you are misunderstanding the concept of "the media". The point of the media is not only to give you the news unbiased, but ALSO to give reflections on that news, personal opinions, whatever. That's what articles are for.
Are you seriously suggesting the media stop writing opinional pieces? I don't get you, I'm sorry.
But should that include fantasy writing?
