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.

"Opinion pieces still have to be accurate."

You are correct. At the least they should have certain descriptives, such as "I think", or "maybe".

It would seem Hitch went overboard and quite possibly stated some untruths here.

I have not seen the film and have no desire to do so. Hell, I haven't been to the movies in years. But to do a hit piece on Gibson, with all there is to be concerned about in this world, does seem ludicrous.

Disappointing.
