One reason I felt OK leaving media almost a decade ago is I saw where this was going — opinions undergo almost no scrutiny and people will accept very little money to share theirs, which makes it attractive for bosses to publish more pontificating and less reporting.

I find this oddly comforting in the sense that op-ed sections have always been primarily about laundering conservative opinion that cannot withstand the scrutiny of a newsroom. This just dispenses with the notion that it's ever been anything but that.
