If you were reading about someone's opinion on something on the news, would you prefer it to be in the form of a column? (Humour fueled and opinion over-flowing) Or would you prefer some interesting facts? (Opinion! Backed by *this*... Opinion! Backed by *this* and so on.)
So, tell me!
Shout out: HUMOUR! or FACT!

I like the humor filled, and loaded with opinon, but that's just me.

I like to read the facts, and then check out the humor.

Generally, if I am reading about someone's opinion about something in the news, I would already know - quite well - what the news was already about. Right?
Hence, I really don't think I'd need the facts / statistics drummed into me to make me see their point of view.
Better still than sole humour, though, is the facts sneakily and intelligently incorporated in. That's skill, that.
I think, though, what bizarrely strengthens an opinionated humouristic, in-your-face piece is an utter disregard for sticking to the topic. I don't know why it works to deviate - perhaps, in part, it is a rather cunning diversion to make it seem as though the writer knows exactly what they're writing about when we do not (nor them, probably).
