With creative editing you make something out of nothing. Funny, that is what O'Keefe and Project. Edit as are known for.

Remember Sessions was (jokingly?) cool with the Klan until he found out they were stoners. He really doesn't like weed.

I'm not sure you understand what an opinion piece is, then.

Quote:
o·pin·ion piece
noun
an article in which the writer expresses their personal opinion, typically one which is controversial or provocative, about a particular issue or item of news.
Reporting on what someone is saying isn't an opinion piece. Pretty cut and dry.

We can call it a factual piece on someone's opinion then...which is still just opinion.
