This is true, but at the same time most reporters have a very hard time doing that. It is much more common to find articles with polarizing views. What I tend to do is not just stick with one source, but attain multiple ones. That way I try to get the full spectrum of views and from that point I make my own decision.

Only reason I like B.Mitch is because he has some credibility as a former player, and most people are not as critical as him. I get sick of hearing Gibbs talk about how they "fought their guts out" when they got manhandled. At the same time, after the win all I heard from most media sources is how great the Skins were. It was nice to see some people take a more critical approach before we crowned the Skins. such as pointing out those turnovers, penalties, etc.
