- humanrebar 9y agoOpinion pieces are typically paid. I suspect world leaders and billionaires are not paid, though. The Times does decide what to print, even if they print an unpaid Putin. They would presumably decline to print a letter from Kim Jong Un about how he shot 38 under par, including five holes-in-one.
