Hunter Walker: There are more than a few newspaper opinion writers whkse work I admire. All of it would be even better in dedicated publications

What if ... and just hear me out here ... all newspaper opinion pages are inherently bad because those two concepts are best when more clearly separate?

I think the better question is what does “opinion” actually mean? Too often the word is a weapon of multidirectional false equivalence negating *arguments* we don’t like. A good argument must have a basis in fact and withstand scrutiny, no different than *news.*

I mean the qualify of opinion pieces is another matter, but it could be discussed much more clearly away from the page.
