“Did archbishop shade Harry and Meghan during Queen’s funeral sermon?”

Dunno, is this an Op-Ed? Yes? Why not TELL us what you think, and why, and present your data, and let us decide whether we agree?

Looks to me like the question-as-headline is just a gimpy end run around editorial prohibitions against opinion in otherwise “straight news.” Reporter is all but stating their opinion in the headline, but posing it as a question dodges it being an out-and-out statement of opinion. Then the article gets written with all the data that might substantiate the opinion hinted at in the headline/question.

The news business is an absolute shambles.

I pay for The Epoch Times, and note a near-total (not 100%) absence of this formatting over there, which is heartening.
I follow the Brownstone Institute, and note that when they put a question as a headline, it’s actually a real question I would ask about the topic being addressed, not an opinion disguised as one.

MORE, please!

The Epoch Times has well written and researched articles. Their comments seem to be made by people who have read the articles as well.
