You must be kidding me to describe that as "inherently neutral". You 
miss the point that articles are build upon reputable sources. Therefore 
the sources are the ones that state the different point of views. We 
quote that points and gather them. We only exclude viewpoints which did 
not pass an editorial process already.

Categorizing the images is not the same as gathering viewpoints from 
sources. It is the viewpoint of the contributer.

Given your argumentation we would only need to write about one opinion. 
Our opinion.
