I believe you're better served by editorials for opinion, journalism should be comparatively rigorous. "Musk says" is not "plans/hopes"

- joelthelion 9mo agoI'd argue this is not opinion but fact. Also, articles very often didn't say "Musk says" but just took his word for fact, not even quoting him. And in the era of Trump/Musk, their practices should evolve.

- titzer 9mo agoI can't tell what you're actually saying. Is "Musk says Moon is made of blue cheese" as a title, without pointing out the fact that the moon is not made of blue cheese a kind of "rigorous" reporting? Dealing in hallways gossip is not the job we granted the press extra constitutional protections for.

- bravetraveler 9mo agoSo, don't take this the wrong way, but basically: https://newsliteracy.wsj.com/news-opinion https://newsliteracy.wsj.com/news-opinion I was poorly trying to raise this trite distinction, asserting skepticism falls closer to Opinion than Journalism. The line gets more fine every day. I know. Take it up with them/their peers. 'Rigorous' would be "Billionaire says '<crazy shit>'", not "Billionaire says '<crazy shit>'... and here's how we feel/think about it".
