Opinions are opinions and lets face it... Neither mine nor most peoples matter.
A few days ago I made a post that got tagged "not news" and it very well might not be. I've personally come to believe most news is an editorial. People simply can't just report facts these days it seems but instead infuse their opinions into everything.
This is the post in question.
Yes it does directly link to Ann Coulter's site as the top comment in this post of mine jokingly noticing the tag points out.

It's a blog post. I'd call it an editorial, but she wrote it on her own self-titled website. That's what blog posts are.
As @Mattvision argued, there's also no sources--but that's actually irrelevant. This isn't news, it's an opinion piece. News brings new information, that's why it's called "news"; It tells us something we didn't know before. Creating news requires seeking out new information, it can require research of parameters of that new information, and it certainly requires verification of that information.
Creating conclusions based on talking points isn't news, it's editorial. Articles written for other institutions are editorials; articles written for your own are blog posts.
It is in fact an editorial and I will not dispute that. I raise this question though. Would it being on a more "popular" (I chose my words carefully here) news source make it more newsworthy? Such as...
The list goes on and on if you search the title. What value does the fact it was reposted on an additional site add to the original article?
I argue it doesn't and you can find a litany of op-ed pieces on any major news sites. I just don't place much faith in a fox news, breitbart, cnn, or a huffingtonpost article. Not even MSNBC or ABC. I'd have remarked on this earlier but if I'm being perfectly honest... It's painfully hard as hell to be motivated to read the "news" these days every day.
For your consideration... can we tag this as an editorial as the top comment suggests it isn't... because it is in fact an "article written for other institutions".
To be honest I have zero interest in debating this. The post you made doesn't depict any kind of event, and is pure opinion. Unruly made the correct decision.
