of course not but the purpose of an opinion is maybe to say it , to defend it , to fight for it and so on .... The fact is that press in japan is much more based on plain un-emotional un opinionated information than the media in the other country I live in (France)some ppl hate media that give their opinion about things and some would rather have a journalist that say what he thinks

I have always enjoyed the infos in japan because it sounded *free zoned* and totally non violent (with no opinion there is also NO attack everything is smooth and zen around) but at some point you are asking for something more than pure facts descriptions ...
for a journalist in Japan I think that not giving their opinions is not thought as difficult though (I knew few as I worked as translator there )...oriental society (and more particularily Japan) is fonctionning this way.. they have opinions but don't write them don't post them they don't make waves ...after few years I felt frustrated and thought ...so what is an opinion if it's not to be "lived"

this is why I posted about the saying in english about opinions .. some think that it doesn't worth to talk /discuss /fight /live for those opinions and some others are extremely vocal depends of what I don't know ? culture , personnality , nationality , gender ?
