Misinfo? I'm talking about opinion pieces. "Israel has a right to defend itself" isn't strictly misinfo, but it is, arguably, an opinion. And you're correct. They're not only used for opinion laundering - they also appear to be a sort of make-work program.

And I don't know what conversation your tangent on what you're reminded of comes from, but it's not the one we're having.

because opinion pieces exist to launder articles that the paper can't reasonably justify publishing... but still really wants to publish.

Your words. Not mine. And this is what the tangent is about. You said we should nail them to the cross for publishing opinion pieces - something which I also abhor but happily accept the responsibility of avoiding. I'm not going to blame a capitalist organization for doing what a capitalist organization is always going to do. I'd be blisteringly stupid if I did that.

Once again, I'm not sure what conversation you think you're having, but it's not this one.

After seeing your rationale, I have no doubt you feel that way.

You should. Arguably, you should nail the to the cross for opinion pieces more, because opinion pieces exist to launder articles that the paper can't reasonably justify publishing... but still really wants to publish.

Literally your words bro. It's right there.
