Opinion pieces still have to be accurate. In Journalism they used to teach that opinion still must be based on facts, so there is a reporting element. The NYT doesn't care about that anymore, why their opeds are so full of factual inaccuracy and no one cares.

It was, but Hitchens took part of that sign and slanted it a certain way.
As did almost everybody else.
