> That's a red flag to me that it's going to be more of an opinion piece rather than news.

Well, yeah, it's explicitly tagged editorial (“column”) content. Opinion columns have opinion pieces...not really surprising.

> It's very hard to get a balanced summary from a news outlet now days.

Yeah, it's too bad the same news outlet didn't carry a straight news piece on the same story.

Oh, wait, they did: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-elon-musk-tweets-s...

That should probably be the story posted to this site, not the editorialized one.

Analysis pieces are no less on-topic and often mat least as appropriate for HN than bare news pieces, and I don't think that, obnoxious headline aside, that is untrue of the content here.

But if you think it's inappropriate you can and should flag it and move on, rather than making ludicrous complaints about it being a sign of a trend of outlets making it hard to find straight news when the same outlet that published the column also carried a straight news piece on the same event.

Without going into the conspiratorial hysterics that one often sees in discussions of Musk-centric stories, LA Times has a long track record of painting Tesla, SpaceX, and Musk negatively.
