"There is much to be said in favor of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community."
--Oscar Wilde
My trusty Webster's reveals the following definitions:
journalism: the work of gathering, writing, editing, and publishing or disseminating news, as through newspapers and magazines or by radio and television.
editorial: a statement of opinion in a newspaper, etc., or on radio or television, as by an editor, publisher, or owner.
Seems someone should inform modern journalists that they're infringing on someone else's job description.
Or perhaps my 30 yr old dictionary needs updating...

The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
