Agreed...seems to be an editorial...not an official stance by the station. I see nothing wrong with it.

I guess that is just another difference between US and UK TV. I can't think of a UK TV station that would have one of their news reporters or presenters deliverying a editorial peice like this. If they want someone's strong opinion like this they would bring someone in who was clearly not part of the station.
