An opinion piece is now a real article?

It's still an article that was approved by CNN's editors somehow.

Still an op-ed, and dont ignore the significant

The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own.

Part.

And still a opinion piece and it says right in the article the views expressed are his own...not CNN's.

See unlike Fox News the opinions on CNN can very from person to person working there. They are not a hive mind.

Alright.. It's an Op-ed article I get it .. i get it... here is a part of the article..

"CNN has reported that the text was presumably referring to the office of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe in August of 2016. Page had previously opined, according to the texts: "There's no way he gets elected." Strzok, however, texted that even if Trump's election is a long shot, "I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office ...that there's no way he gets elected -- but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40."
The most benevolent interpretation of this Strzok statement, as suggested by The Wall Street Journal, is that Strzok was advocating a fast and aggressive pursuit of the Russia investigation "because some of Mr. Trump's associates could land administration jobs and it was important to know if they had colluded with Russia," according to the Journal's story.
But there is more. Strzok was the FBI agent who changed the language used by former Director Comey in his controversial July 5, 2016, public statement clearing Clinton of criminal charges regarding her handling of classified materials. Strzok changed the final draft wording of Comey's statement from "grossly negligent" (which is commonly used in criminal cases) to the softer, non-criminal "extremely careless" wording.
Trump supporters would point to this as evidence that Strzok, the FBI's No. 2 counterintelligence agent, appears to be executing a plan within the FBI to clear Clinton and then destroy Trump's candidacy with the Russia investigation.

Causing further headaches for FBI brass, we now know that Deputy Director McCabe's wife, Jill McCabe, an unsuccessful Democratic 2015 candidate for the state senate in Virginia, had received approximately $700,000 in campaign contributions from then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's political action committee and the state's Democratic Party. While this didn't violate any laws or FBI protocols, the association looks unseemly for an agency conducting an investigation with potentially historic implications.
McAuliffe had been the campaign chairman of Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and has been described by onlookers as being "as close as family" to the Clintons.
While McCabe's wife certainly has a right to run for office, her acceptance of hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from sources with clear links to the Clintons was a red-flag warning that should have caused McCabe to recuse himself from any involvement in any Trump/Hillary related investigations. He had no business calling any of the shots in these sensitive probes that would likely influence the outcome of the presidential election. The FBI has stated that that McCabe acted in accordance with stated agency protocols while his wife was running for office."

Which makes sense since CNN is all fake news.

Your move?

[Moralgy]

I wonder how many “lolCNN is fake news” posts we will get in this thread.

[Garnier Fructis]

Another day, another failed 'gotcha' by a Trump supporter. We've got 3 more years of failure, /sigh.

You got to love how contradicting ones own opinion, has become a gotcha of someone else. You can almost see where the mouse tripped on the wheel...

[Lenonis]

Alright.. It's an Op-ed article I get it .. i get it... here is a part of the article..

next time you might want to have your initial post acknowledge it's an opinion piece. Otherwise it just looks bad.

Also maybe think that if someone isn't going to be bothered to read your link they sure as heck won't be bother to read the copy/paste wall of text with no commentary.

Not only that, but he should also have a less click-baity and dishonest thread title. After all, the way it is written, it clearly insinuates that the opinion expressed there is that of CNN as a whole, which is hypocritical on so many levels.

Fake news.

I typically don't like devils advocate, but lets be honest CNN shouldn't be allowing this bull shit to be put up in their name.

Or people should learn how to read and learn what a opinion piece is.

There isn't a news website on the planet that doesn't do the same thing.

There are plenty of websites that choose what they allow to be posted. Like this one where there are forbidden topics.
