    Not commenting on anything to do with the story here, but:

    Any time you see “opinion” in the headline of any paper, you can either simply ignore it, or if you don’t, understand clearly that it’s not news

      Yes, but actually no, but actually yes.

      A piece’s worth is orthogonal to whether or not it’s an “opinion.” But also, most corporate media is pretty shit.

        I think we’re pretty much on the same page

        I will say that for the FT particularly, it’s a valuable newspaper because it has to report based on markets in a mostly matter of fact way. However its opinion section is particularly out of touch in all the ways you’d expect for a paper intended for people in The City.
