I've read Necessary Illusions; I had understood they covered pretty much the same ground, is that not the case? Anyway, all of the articles on FAIR's list were opinion pieces. If there's an analysis of its reporting of a pertinent event as compared to a less compromised source, it would help.
- colordrops 9y agoYou proved my point. Only TWO of the articles on FAIR's list are marked as "Opinion" or "Editorial". I checked every single one on WaPo's site.
- cholantesh 9y agoThat's probably because those are the only ones that were also in the print edition. The others are blog or analysis pieces. Which, by definition, are opinion pieces. One of the section headings even includes the word blog in its name! That seems pretty clear to me.
- colordrops 9y agoBy who's definition are blog pieces automatically opinion? That's my whole point - it's not obvious what is and what isn't an opinion piece, and your average reader is not going to know the difference or notice. Furthermore it's not like writing an article is like some closed form mathematical structure. A supposedly researched and referenced "non opinion" article is typically full of implicit opinion.
