I empathically agree with your paras #2 and #3.
"any story you read is editorialized to some degree"
The opinion is the value add.
I used to read The Economist, because they challenged my views. I read Tyler Cowen today because I disagree with him and because he argues his case.
The rut we find popular discourse in today is caused by two things. The New Deal consensus we once had has not been replaced with a new consensus. The reluctance to distinguish between blather and discourse (debate).
