“The facts are that the majority of readers will be in support of file sharing, since that is what the site is about.”
I concede, given this fact, there will naturally be a slant towards file sharing however giving it’s status as a news site one feels that it should try to present the facts in readable and unbiased manner and let the reader form their own opinion from that.

“Obviously an opinion is “slanted” to support one’s stance on a matter, otherwise they’d be an undecided fencesitter, a weak position.”
True. It may be weak position when trying to argue a point but when writing a article that will be read by thousands of people but i feel that news items tend to be better researched, well presented and less biased from fencesitters than someone who has an opinion on the matter.

My apologies Brett if I misunderstood a point that you were trying to express.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and anyone can comment here. I’ve seen no censorship. Jon has developed his own views, having experienced a lot of News & commentary, as all of us have. He is entitled to reprint whatever quotes he deems worthy, in support of his views or opposed to them. The facts are that the majority of readers will be in support of file sharing, since that is what the site is about. Any opposed to it will likely be media cartels or their cronies, and possibly a few disgruntled musos. Obviously an opinion is “slanted” to support one’s stance on a matter, otherwise they’d be an undecided fencesitter, a weak position.

this site is going down a very disappointing path. instead of reporting the news from an unbiased position you are writing extremely slanted article’s like this. very much like the “lamescream media” that this site is often very quick to criticise.
