The appendix of the modern newspaper's body is its editorial page and the writers and editors who work there. Nothing is so abundant and free than opinion writing on the web, and it is of a much, much higher quality than that in newspapers, even those of the greatest reputation.

The editorial page ain't going nowhere. Why? Because the actual purpose of the editorial page is to "position" the rest of the paper as not being a matter of opinion printed by mere mortals. Take away the editorial page, and the whole paper will be recognized to be what they admit the editorial page is.
Admit that journalism is nothing more than politics? I doubt it! I'd love it - but I'll believe it when I see it.
