It's really weird, because it seems like they can do it most of the time when it involves life experiences from few people, but if they try to take a stance on a broader topic, they botch it horribly.
Course, there are a few exceptions (for all my qualms with him, I thought Wong's piece on Robin Williams was surprisingly well done).
I didn't entirely like that tribute. For one, Williams was always a punching bag for the writers, like Phil Collins still is, and the way it was written wasn't really a tribute, but more of a suicide and depression awareness article. It felt insulting because it was pretty much "can't say something nice, don't say anything at all".
EDIT: Oh, and Cher just joined us. Go to the thread I started on her latest article.
