> "About Us - COMMENTARY is America’s premier monthly magazine of opinion and a pivotal voice in American intellectual life. Since its inception in 1945, and increasingly after it emerged as the flagship of neoconservatism in the 1970s, the magazine has been consistently engaged with several large, interrelated questions: the fate of democracy and of democratic ideas in a world threatened by totalitarian ideologies; the state of American and Western security; the future of the Jews, Judaism, and Jewish culture in Israel, the United States, and around the world; and the preservation of high culture in an age of political correctness and the collapse of critical standards." https://www.commentary.org/about/ https://www.commentary.org/about/
Which isn't reason to ignore the article, but does seem reason to treat the publisher as explicitly opinionated.
- itsoktocry 4y agoSo what is your reason for posting this, then? You don't think us plebes can determine this was an opinion piece based on the title alone? I'm genuinely perplexed.
- colinmhayes 4y agoI've met many people I would not trust to determine this was an opinion piece based on the title alone.
- CommieBobDole 4y agoBackground on the author's stated biases is good to have. Besides, while we can tell it's an opinion piece from the title, there are many different groups from all parts of the political spectrum that have issues with the FBI so it's not immediately obvious which perspective this comes from.
