More and more it seems like I’m seeing opinion columns being posted in the fediverse that are, to be fair, bad takes - but everyone seems to act like it’s representative of the entire publication. Which misses the entire point of opinion columns - they’re about providing different points of view, food for thought, if you will. Show you things outside of your bubble. The inevitable reality is that if you do that, you’re going to have some bad takes. If you don’t have some bad takes every once in a while, your opinion column is bad and you should feel bad.
Yeah, there are bad publications that try to distort reality. But you don’t identify them by picking out bad takes from their opinion columns.
only if that state is palestine
In my opinion its fine for that to be part of the discussion but thats a pro war position. It could even be considered genocidal which means the above commenter would consider it to be outside valid discussion and would black list a news paper for publishing an opinion piece on it.
discussing war isn’t the same as being pro genocide. war isn’t the same thing as genocide either.
I agree but i dont see how is that relevant to anything being said
