[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call them what they are and you know the POV of the author:
Article
Editorial
Column
Op-Ed
Satire[/quote]

So what exactly do you consider to be an "article?" As opposed to the others which are all self explanatory. In my opinion the others are all types of articles. [/quote]

I never call an opinion piece an article. I use article to refer to a news story that presents the facts and identifies the source of any opinion or commentary that is quoted or cited in the article. 
An op-ed is definitely not a WSJ, WP, NYT [insert newspaper name] article. 
As for the Wall Street Journal, the reporters are actually quite good and often expose things in articles that the WSJ editorial board and columnists later deny and ridicule. The editorial page is complete garbage.  [/quote]

I was actually asking what sets an "article" apart from the other types of... umm ... articles, in your book. I think you might be somewhere on the spectrum. I am not saying this to insult you but because this is a very strange thing to take issue with and it is not following the dictionary definition of "article." If you are not on the spectrum, then you are simply obsessed with being right even when you are clearly wrong and even when no one knows who you are.

Anyway, you do not agree with the author's opinions and that is a legitimate statement to make on this thread.
