It's an opinion piece, not journalism.

It's an opinion piece, not a news article, keep that in mind.

It's not meant to be taken as journalism---it's an opinion piece.

It's not an editorial, it's an opinion piece, by... some guy. If it were an actual editorial in the WSJ that would be shocking.

These are opinion editors. They're expected to have opinions.

It's an editorial opinion piece, not a journalistic report. Editorial opinions often contradict the immediate financial models of the publications that carry them.

It's not an article, it's an op-ed. Fact checking is notably relaxed in op-eds. This isn't an admission of anything, this is just another op-ed writer throwing verbal molotov cocktails.

It's an op-ed. The point is to get the author's opinion.
