Not responding to your dumbfuckery is simply my considered and rational policy. I'm free to make exceptions as I may wish. But I still think you are playing a stupid game while the Republic burns, so don't expect many exceptions.

Yeah, I kinda thought that the purpose of a newspaper was to deliver news. And yes, historically to demarcate the difference between news and editorial commentary, there's this thing called the Opinion section so that the presentation of news and opinion are clearly differentiated. That's why, for example, newspaper articles are written in the third person point of view, making the author a dispassionate narrator.
But I guess I'm too much a dumbf@ck and don't look at the presentation of news from such an enlightened viewpoint as you.
"Perspective" is neither opinion nor news. It's a blending of the two. As I see it, it's a cute way to repackage the news and salt it with opinion....much as it is presented in the article in question.
