Huh?
"perceived by many as unreasonable as before" is a clear statement of
distancing themselves from this opinion.
Impartiality does not mean you have to present every marginal opinion on
a matter equally. Supplementing a news item on a discussion with a
summary of the results of the discussion is just good journalism.
My criticism would be that "unreasonable" - while it applies - is not
the main impression people have got from Yuri here. I could list a
number of words i would find fitting but stating them here would
probably be considered offensive by some. I could imagine the
weeklyOSM editors were looking for a word that avoids this and ended up
with "unreasonable".
And George Bernard Shaw's idea does not work with any of these other,
more fitting terms - sorry. ;-)
