Cute Win...I guess that would be because it's "opinion", not "news", in KLP terminology

"News" is a transcript from an actual source. All info in the transcript that is a direct quote can be used for "news"....

Opinion is just that....someone's interpretation of whatever the event is...

i.e. Helen Thomas could give a monolog, complete with transcript. Some would call it "news"...Some would call it trash but news.

Maureen Dowd could give her opinion of that "news" from Mz. Thomas. That would be just MD's opinion.....not HT's "news"....
