    It was an opinion piece.

    Fuck Trump and America, but The Hill didn’t say that with the weight that this insinuates.

    The story is again Americas media literacy perhaps.

    Edit: lol ok everyone. Go check out all the NYT opinion pieces compared to their news. Make sure you give them the credit they’re due for not being complicit Nazis.

    Garbage media literacy and the world burns for it.

      was it given a platform and promoted by the organization?

      they printed it as their opinion. and clearly promoted it as their opinion.

      Opinion pieces abuse the legitimacy of the publisher to get out stuff like this, and that’s a failing on the media platform, just like native advertising. If they don’t want to be associated, make sure the tweet makes it absolutely obvious that it isn’t the Hill saying this, but just some nobody with an opinion.

      BTC (who knows his shit) called out @TheHillOpinion. @TheHill posted the original. I don’t see a problem here.
