They intentionally blur that line. Almost all of their news pieces the last several years have been full of opinion.

No. There is a distinct Opinion Section with it's own editorial oversight.

Just like every other high quality news source.

That doesn't refute what I said at all. Yes, they have an opinion section. They also inject a lot of opinion into articles that are nominally straight news.

This just isn’t true at all.

They are distinct and completely governed by different editors.
