A Modest Proposal is not, and never was, "News". It is opinion.

A Modest Proposal is not, and never was, "News". It is opinion.
- basch 10y agomaybe Best In Show, that dog documentary, is a better example.
- jwtadvice 10y agoMost news is (unfortunately) nothing more than opinion. Either the opinion of "an unnamed official", the opinion of a contributor, the opinion of a sponsor, or the opinion of an editor. Take the recent opinions of anonymous officials that Russia's objective in leaking DNC corruption was to get Trump elected. That's being reported on as news and fact, with the opinion aspect of it turned down to obscurity.
