Today while I was looking at the New York Times, I came across an article about a journalist (Heather Mallick) from Fox News who got nailed for writing baseless opinion.

We discussed in class today if opinion is considered journalism or not, but never really came to a group consensus. Regardless, this article shows that opinions must always be factual. The article that Mallick wrote received 300 plus negative comments. As journalists, if we do not use correct information... Well, the effects well be less than desirable.
I've been doing some pondering, and I don't really think that opinion is journalsim. It can be included in journalism, but it, by itself, is not journalism. It seems like it is more of an element than anything else.
