An agreeable position if those opinion pieces were written in good faith by a respectable journalist who knows what they're talking about. Honest opinions are never wrong.

But in today's news it's just a way to publish straight-up misinformation and propaganda, they can just abuse their position to just say whatever and people internalise it because, well, it's the news.

Journalists and news outlets used to depend upon a reputation of integrity and factuality built over the years. Now anyone can open up their "news" website, or be a politically motivated party with lots of resources, claim completely made-up stuff, and when those articles reveal themselves to be complete bullshit, nothing happens.

Also, the world seems to really have lost the conception of what is a fact vs what is an opinion, a deduction, a belief, and so on. Guess the nature of Internet communication doesn't help with that.
