In his August 2016 post, regarding the media's favorable view of Hillary Clinton and unfavorable view of Donald Trump prior to the November presidential election, Mr. Taranto asserts:

If you have such a strong opinion about one of the major candidates, perhaps you shouldn’t be reporting on the election. You could request a transfer to another beat, or to the opinion section.

If you really feel strongly about preventing Trump’s election, perhaps you should consider a career change. You could go to work for Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, or for one of the many independent advocacy organizations that support it.

a) Do you agree with Mr. Taranto's assertions? Explain your answer.
b) Ask a parent the same question. Discuss your answers.
