No, all that shows is that they're not concerned with who provides the opinion piece. (And they shouldn't be.)

It doesn't make any sense to publish something under your name and then complain when people think you're endorsing it. If I paste a pro-Nazi editorial into my blog, should I resent being held to account for it?

That's why it's called the "Opinion section":
