One must question whether the addition of opinion articles to the content here is in any way newsworthy.
With all the newsworthy activity around the world, and the web, and the ill effects of increasing storage needs, is it worthwhile to post news about comment? The answer is a resounding "No."
One may wish to inquire further, is it even worthwhile to post comment about news about comment? To be sure, news about comment is worthy of nothing but society's collective disgust. If the appearance of commentary is newsworthy, its value would be self-evident, and does not need to be noted; but if it needs noting, it's obviously not notable!
Yet comment about news is always relevant. It poses crucial questions about journalistic integrity, self-awareness, and teleology. It speaks truth to power; it opens the window to truth, and sheds much-needed light into the benighted newsroom, and may even, once in a while, change minds at a time like today, when they are in direst need of changing.
Therefore I proclaim: Ecrasez le news; vive la commentaire!
