I pointed this out elsewhere recently. The lawyers of FOX News, when trying to defend the agency in Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network made it super clear that FOX News is an entertainment channel and is not supposed to be regarded as news (now called the Tucker Carlson Defense) that no reasonable person would interpret the content of the shows on FOX as actual news.
FNC’s business model depends on the notion that it’s main viewership are not reasonable people.
If they wanted the statement to be taken seriously, they shouldn’t have put it in the Opinion section.
That’s what it is though? You can’t put opinions in news. Even if your opinion is correct.
That was not an opinion. He said all those things. That full-page headline is only facts.
“This thing happened” is news, so “Trump said this” is news.
“You should have this reaction to it” is for the opinion pages, even if that reaction is “you should believe him”.
That isn’t to say the Times doesn’t try to get away with pushing a narrative while technically following the rules, but that rule is still a good one.

Sure you can. These journals do it all the time by filtering it through a cushy interview or ghostwritten native ad or “unnamed source”.
You can! In the “opinion” section! It’s right there on the first page, actually, right next to the naked lady and perfume ads.
Lol are you new to US media?
If he said it is not an opinion but a fact. So, news.
Also shouldn’t have repeatedly supported a genocide the prior years
