You just pointed out (unintentionally) the sorry state of 'journalism'. If you're just reporting a story, there should be no opinion, no need to 'present the other side'. Having said that, I don't consider Coulter a journalist. Her works (books, especially) present factual events with her own interpretation of them. So she does what most 'journalists' do today, but without the guise of 'journalism'. It gets dangerous when 'journalists' do what she does and claim they're being objective.
