I get you, but this article says 'opinion' right at the top, which means it's not news.

Is all opinions now good to publish?

Should Nazis also get articles in the opinion section?

What about flat earth theory believers?

The outlet is responsible for making sure that even opinion articles are logical and factual.

Is this article logical and factual?

Of course not, but neither is misrepresenting opinions as news as op did. The fact that news outlets publish opinion pieces is not new or even newly offensive, and the fact that it's clearly labeled as such right at the top of the image and op didn't notice or care means op is just fanning the flames of outrage bait.

Maybe it's a typo, it was meant to say "humour".
