It also seems to be the expected norm now that news comes with editorial opinions (particularly when things are shared on social media, since the most opinionated people tend to share the most and tend to favor the most opinionated news). That newspapers like the Wall Street Journal actually distinguish between news articles and editorial and opinion pieces seems like something that some people have forgotten or never realized.
