For example, the New York Times recently wrote an article about Jeff Sessions' civil rights issue with schools. I never said anything about it not being an opinion piece, just that it's published by the media. I agree with your original critique, but writing "the New York Times recently wrote an article" is not saying "just that it's published by the media". Whether or not an opinion piece is sufficient to make your point, you said the NYT wrote it, it turns out that they did not, but you are claiming that despite this you were right all along. Don't do that!
