If they didnt then the article fails on its basics. A lot of their political coverage normalizes trump to the detriment of truth.

That would be editorializing or at most an opinion.
There are places in media for those; but most people claim this is where bias is.
A good news website/channel/radio would reach out to experts to discuss whether it is feasible. Not giving weight to "both sides" if there truly isnt a both sides argument - in this case, most econs would agree this is a terrible idea.
Good news sites have news, editorials, opinions as separate but complimentary positions.
AP is news. condensed without editorial.
The Econimist and the Atlantic are pretty much pure editorials, but they don't try to pass off as News, and people that seek them out are looking for that.
The biggest culprit of this, in my opinion, is National Post. That place is just pure opinion nowadays. its not news.
