Those opinion rags need approval?

[-] carl_marks_1312@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

What I'm saying is that while this is an opinion piece, it had to pass an editorial board. Since this piece obv got publish, it means that it reflects the views of the board in some regard

No, I understood that.

I'm just saying that I didn't even realize that those absolutely trash opinion articles are getting approved despite how fucking garbage they are. I never really thought about it before. I just thought people just kinda wrote whatever within some guidelines.

You may as well be right. Thinking about how it's a privately run business, It's definitely within the realm of possibility and how it's done in practice. It requires less time/ressources to have your journalists follow guidelines and punish them if they are not within guidlines. Reading the damn thing and haveing a lengthy approval process costs money after all..
