"That is an opinion column, it is not a news story." So it's OK to lie, distort & mislead in an opinion piece? And you think that opinion pieces don't count as part of information disseminated by the media to its audience? "Columns are, by definition, opinion." I looked up opinion since I must be confused about what the word actually means..... <font size=4>opinion:<font size=3> A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof: “The world is not run by thought, nor by imagination, but by opinion” A judgment based on special knowledge and given by an expert: a medical opinion. Nowhere did I find the use of lies, distortion or the intentional use of misleading statements as an acceptable way to frame an opinion. Sheesh indeed!
