They do have news segments. Every News org has news sections and opinion sections that are de-lineated. I’m not really a fan (they do have good investigative reporting sometimes) but acting like they are aberration does not make sense
It is the normalization of bad journalism. It is not more acceptable because it is normal.
That’s a good point. On cable the distinction between news and opinion is definitely blurred as compared to a newspaper with a very clear editorial section
