Those are all individual opinion pieces, none of them are the opinion of “the Times.” The NYT occasionally publishes pieces bylined “New York times editorial board” and those are the pieces that represent their collective opinions. The opinion section of the paper publishes a diverse variety of opinions; readers are up to their own devices to judge which conflicting opinion is correct. The article from the OP is also not an opinion piece like the ones you linked but is posted from their news section, which is not the same as opinion.

> Those are all individual opinion pieces, none of them are the opinion of “the Times.” The NYTimes editorial board chooses who gets to write an opinion piece for their paper. It may not be as explicit as an actual opinion piece by the nytimes editorial board, but its still part of their agenda pushing initiative. Just like the NYTimes best sellers list isn't a list of actual best sellers, but a mechanism to push their agenda. https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/04/new-york-times-bestseller-list-biased-book-news/ https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/04/new-york-times-bestse... > The opinion section of the paper publishes a diverse variety of opinions; I have to disagree, but then again, this is a subjective issues. > The article from the OP is also not an opinion piece like the ones you linked but is posted from their news section, which is not the same as opinion. I have to disagree again. As best I can tell, it's all opinion, but once again, it's a subjective issue. I've yet to read an objective newspaper that wasn't just opinion. But I agree with your statement: "readers are up to their own devices to judge which conflicting opinion is correct."
