Is asking for an [editorial] to be included in the title, similar to how we tend to ask for "year published" data unreasonable?

  That's a good point. The linked page even has Opinion prior to the title. Would it be reasonable to assume the title Don't Trust Facebook with Your Love Life could possibly only be opinion? Would a reasonable person expect to see data-driven research after clicking through?

    > The linked page even has Opinion prior to the title. Yes, in a font smaller than and above the title that is very light against the background and reasonably easy to miss. > Would it be reasonable to assume the title Don't Trust Facebook with Your Love Life could possibly only be opinion? Would a reasonable person expect to see data-driven research after clicking through? Perhaps it's a clickbait title with real substance, or perhaps a great research piece. The only way to know is to read it.

  That would be, IMHO, a great addition!

Sure, why not? In your mind, you can choose not to engage with them, yes. I get that reading is involuntary for literate adults, but I believe it is possible to not engage with the words beyond that.

Editorials are very clearly separated from news content in nearly every newspaper, but definitely on the NYTimes. They have sections, and the op-Ed’s and Eds are only in the opinion section.
