Maybe I'm just a little sensitive, but it seems that it is often unclear on articles whether they are reporting news, or trying to proffer an opinion. I know I have biases, as everyone does, but if you look at Kate Taylor's 'Quality isn’t enough: Canadian arts content needs government support' this should be clearly labelled as Opinion.

The slide from real event reporting (the finishing of the consultancy by Heritage Canada),  to  "the government should do something", is a slippery slope towards so called alternate facts or fake news.

I have no problem with opinion - I can be as opinionated as the next person. And I like reading diverse opinions. But it would seem to me that articles should be labelled opinion, or have a separate "factsheet", if they are not truly adhering "to the basics of accuracy, fairness and attention to detail"

Maybe I should know that an "Arts" article is always opinion. I did know, without a label, that 1984 was not a history book.
