Patronising? No. I just get the feeling you are arguing more for yourself esteem and stubbornness rather than actually believing you are right.

You have made up your own impressions/ideas of what this website should be and consequently misled yourself. And unless this is your first visit to this website, I fail to see where you would get the idea that this site should be presenting news only.

There are plenty of websites like the one you mentioned (DigitalSpy) that people could go to if they only wanted the straight facts/news about music. If people did not like reading and agreeing with or participating in debates over Sam’s comments they would visit those websites instead of websites such as these.

Generally, the format for the postings on this website is to post the report/story and then the author (whether it be Sam, or another member of TGJ staff) posts their opinion on the story at the end of the post. It has been the same ever since I can remember. Have a look through the posts on this site. Here’s a example that I just grabbed straight off the front page...

“Excuse us while we wash the taste of “meh” out of our mouths. For, while by no means criminal, both the song and video are all a bit sub-par. All a bit Olly Murs, if you will.”

I really don’t know where you’re getting the idea this is a straight news-only website... But you have obviously been misled.
