Editorials are often opinion. No doubt. But the journalistic integrity of the author and the publication as a whole come into question when there are no opposing facts presented to support the ones the author uses to try to sway us to his/or her thinking. The author was not interested in knowing more about which he spoke. Just spouting info to get people riled up-sharing half information. Many pubs include disclaimers with the editorials they print or a standing statement that says what they publish does not necessarily express the opinions or beliefs of the publication's editors and publishers. I couldn't find that with regard to the editorial/opinion section on the site. If it was a journalistic/reporting article, it would be completely irresponsible of the publication to have printed it without due diligence to checking facts and presenting all sides of the issue. But, as an editorial piece-all I can say is, the author completely loses all credibility when it's so blatantly one-sided. Blah.
