Okay? Glad you felt the need to reiterate what is already known.


Fair enough.

My first couple of reads, I thought he was limiting the directive to Editorials. I now see he seems to be including op-Ed’s.

I’m not sure I agree with going as far as he is, if I’m honest. I’m fine with presenting INFORMED opposing views. As it is, though, far too many people make a living writing shite op-Ed’s that are devoid of reason or substance and only want to provoke clicks. That crap should be banished, but leave room for well-argued and documented alternatives.

You know, this stuff:

My point: a paper should not have a single point of view. If they are allowing opinion pieces, they should be allowing competing opinions. Otherwise, they are just a propoganda machine.

I find it funny that in the same sentence they say they are going to be pro-free market, by limiting the free market, at least at a very micro level

Free Markets.

In economics, a free market is an economic system in which the prices of goods and services are determined by supply and demand expressed by sellers and buyers. Such markets, as modeled, operate without the intervention of government or any other external authority.

It's about time, Jeff. Now try removing all the seed oils from meals served in your Whole Foods stores.
