I was more struck by the fact that the author thinks anyone would or should care what some random tech journalist thinks about something. Person has opinions, news at eleven.
I don't really think you believe that journalism shouldn't exist or that you don't know journalism includes opinion and commentary, but I don't know why this is controversial enough to trigger that response. What's funny, though, is that the trite "news at 11" catchphrase is very much also invoking traditional journalism.
