Color me skeptical as to how "opinion-free" it will be.

I am sure they will go into it with the best of intentions, then follow the audience wherever the audience wants to go. It is not, after all, their ultimate point to provide opinion free news.

Exactly. Always follow the money.

Somewhat related, I saw this on FB.
I wonder if Rachel (conspiracy queen) Maddow would pass muster.

Could be free of just some types of opinion.

Me, too. The guy in charge said, he hopes “News Nation” will be an even bigger deal to cable TV news viewers looking to turn down the heat on partisan politics."
Something like what they are proposing is desperately needed. It's not like they're going in blind. They've done a bunch of dry runs. Let's give them a chance before we jump all over them with a bunch of cynical schadenfreude.

I just set my DVR to record it, starts tomorrow at 8pm eastern. Gotta respect the idea, as it's what I've been wishing for, for a while.
Related, WGN America also produced the "Manhattan" TV series (2 seasons) about the building of the atomic bomb. Great show, I thought.

The thing is, you only really need about 25 minutes to read the news. What are they going to fill the rest of the day with?

And that’s if you re-read it 4 more times.

I still doubt it highly, but it'd be great to be disproven.

They’ll need what amounts to a constitution that they and their future generations are somehow bound to follow. And the constitution needs to be well written.
