@jason_kint @reckless @nytopinion @WSJ But we all have a right to question their judgement in printing any particular piece. Not their right to do so, which of course goes without question. But their judgement. I question their judgement in this and other recent incidents. And I regularly read conservatives. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@tjdonegan @jason_kint @reckless @nytopinion @WSJ I won’t defend every newspaper opinion editor. I never worked for one. But there’s no need for an “opinion” label on print op-ed pieces, because they run in the opinion pages. It’s all opinion by definition. The need for a label is online, on social, where that context is gone. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@jason_kint @reckless @nytopinion @WSJ Depends on the paper. And don’t forget that, at many newspapers, most of the op-ed page is devoted to columnists who are employees, some of whom often disagree with the editorials, but many of whom are ideological allies and sometimes even participate in writing the editorials. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@jason_kint @reckless @nytopinion @WSJ Right. “Op”, as in op-ed, merely means the page physically *opposite* the editorial page. It’s an old and lasting print newspaper industry term, the way “A1” is a print industry term widely used for the front page. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@tjdonegan @jason_kint @reckless @nytopinion @WSJ I disagree that they all operate their op-ed pages the same. They don’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@Ned_Newhouse @jason_kint @reckless @nytopinion @WSJ It won’t matter. Editorial page editors have a wide variety of views about how they use their op-ed pages. But I bet all believe they have a responsibility to curate and edit even pieces with which they disagree. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@jason_kint @reckless @nytopinion @WSJ Furthermore, even if the goal is to feature different views, that doesn’t relieve the opinion editors of the responsibility to curate what they choose to run. They would never run an Op-Ed piece by the head of the KKK justifying lynchings, for instance. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@jason_kint @reckless @nytopinion @WSJ I am 100% sure about this, after a 47 year career in journalism. Op-Ed doesn’t mean opposition to the editorials, but the page opposite the editorial page. It is almost always run by the same people, as it is at the Times. The Times is only one newspaper. Others are different. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@reckless You’re right. It’s a bogus argument. Opinion pages are meant to reflect the opinion of the publisher and sometimes reasonable opposing views. @nytopinion has been off course on this under Bennet, unlike the @WSJ edit page. Where’s the Op-Ed by a senator opposing use of troops? — PolitiTweet.org

We often think the 1st Amendment covers only freedom of speech, religion and press. But it also guarantees two more rights which were violated when the peaceful rally near the WH was violently shut down: the right to peacefully assemble, and the right to petition the government. https://t.co/jQZUGmReNA — PolitiTweet.org
