Default No, I didn't look that up first... but...

The article was in the *opinion* section, so I knew it was coming from one particular angle -- but I also knew it wasn't supposed to be unbiased reporting, which is why it was under the editorial/commentary banner. That's full disclosure, as far as I'm concerned. The biased quotient was in plain view, yes?

Being biased doesn't make it (necessarily) wrong/incorrect, either.

What else do you expect to be in the opinion page? Opinion = bias... no?

Analogy: As with google -- the natural results go in one section, and the 'sponsored' results go in ANOTHER section. The sponsored results are 'tilted' via BRIBES (ad revenue). That makes them agenda driven (profit is the agenda in this case) -- but it doesn't make them useless or evil or even 'wrong/incorrect.' It only means they need to be clearly marked as being in a different section. The article I posted WAS clearly in the Opinion section.
