I'm kind of confused about what you are saying; When I click on the link I land on a page where the "News" tab is highlighted and beneath it the sections "Business > Economics" are printed in bold. Looks like a news article to me? I don't see anywhere that this is actually a blog post?

I think that this is down to the Guardian's politics - cultural relativism means prioritising one piece of writing as "news" over another as "opinion" is invalid.

I've got to say, having watched the journalism sausage factory in action while running a newspaper, I'm not entirely opposed. Journalists routinely choose what sources to cite and which to ignore. News is often, if not always, manipulated to communicate a political point of view. Dropping the pretence and presenting all news as opinion (or all opinion as news) seems at least honest.

If you look at the URL you'll see "commentisfree".
