You do realize this is an opinion column? You can tell by the big letters at the top that spell out OPINION
EDIT: here’s my “both sides” take on this, you all are as dumb as Fox News viewers. IMO (notice the O stands for opinion, please do not hold Lemmy accountable for what I say) schools need to implement a class on the media. Kids need to learn the difference between news and opinion. Also learn how to identify the source of the news. Also don’t post your nudes on the internet. Things are about to get a lot worse with AI and deep fakes
Do you see NYT publishing any opinion pieces to the effect of “The healthcare CEO socially murdered thousands every year and the fact that we don’t have a legal mechanism to deal with them is infinitely more important than a guy who only killed one person”
The great thing about opinions? They typically spur opinions from other people. And those opinions spur more opinions.
What I’m trying to say is that the article being an opinion does not in any way negate the comment you’re being dismissive of, which in itself is an opinion too. That’s kind of how conversations happen.

NYT still saw fit to publish it. Most would consider that a tacit endorsement.
Yeah and? Doesn’t make his opinion any less garbage

I have an opinion, you’re an ignorant bootlicker! Should that get posted to the frontpage of the times too?
An opinion The NY Times chose to share with their readers.
Your point? The Editor still has control over what is allowed to be printed/released and associated with their name.

Nobody responding to you was unaware this was an opinion piece.
