Why is this an opinion column? If the evidence is there, wouldn't that be regular old reporting?

Why is this an opinion column? If the evidence is there, wouldn't that be regular old reporting?
- ergonaught 3y agoBecause the journalism occurred elsewhere, and this is an opinion resulting therefrom.
- advisedwang 3y agoThe last two paragraphs are straight up policy recommendations from the editorial board. That wouldn't be accepted as news reporting.
- spondylosaurus 3y agoFair. I guess then I'd ask why an editorial board is making policy recommendations :P
- advisedwang 3y agoBecause they run an newspaper and want to use the power that that grants them.
- EA-3167 3y agoBecause the journalism part was already done by Der Spiegel, 60 Minutes, and The Insider. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-russia-evidence-60-minutes/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-russia-evidence... The opinion article is a reaction to that, and assumes you're already familiar with the investigative aspects of the story.
- krunck 3y agoBecause it's not news journalism but something else.
