I, too, want to say “it’s just an opinion piece” but then I remembered the number of American papers whose opinion section have been either obliterated or neutered recently and…yeah. Good for you guys, keep the pressure on.

Not an article, an opinion piece, the fact that people don't make the difference between the two is part of the reason why we're in deep shit now.

In my mind the Venn diagram showed opinion piece inside of the article circle.

Wikipedia seems to agree.

An opinion piece is an article, usually published in a newspaper or magazine, that mainly reflects the author's opinion about a subject.

Maybe the distinction you think of is more along the lines "news reporting" and "opinion piece"

Right, I've corrected "article" into "opinion piece".

"Opinion"

Put it on the front page, cowards.

I read that in the voice of the Hunter S. Thompson audio book narrator. HST would be having a field day with this.

Ooh that's almost up to propet Irish levels of snarkiness. This lad will go far.
