Perhaps newspapers should stop running opinions and editorials altogether, or move them to an entirely different brand.

I don't really think that's the answer. Actual physical newspapers ran editorials / opinions for decades without a problem. I think the solution is better UI/UX.

A separate brand would be a better UX.

It's clear that internet distribution is very different from physical newspapers and people don't pay much attention to the domain and styling.
