Newspaper journalism loosely falls into 2 types—hard news & features. By definition this feature takes a POV, precluding a “complete & fair” take. That’s not advocacy nor intellectually dishonest. In fact the Inquirer’s won 2 Pulitzers in feature writing. Nice straw man/red herring tho. Good troll
The NYT and Washington post won Pulitzers for reporting as fact the 2016 Russian election influence story. We all now know this was completely false. The Pulitzer Prize is forever sullied and signifies nothing regarding accuracy.
Those Pulitzers have been reaffirmed in several nonpartisan reviews & NYT/Post cleared of any such allegations. We all now know there was indeed Russian interference in 2016. However that’s moot/red herring as my point was to show that features are a legit form of journalism contrary to your post.
