Editorials v Op-Eds
The great Kevin Drum says (I won't link as the context is irrelevant):Although I enjoy reading op-eds, I almost never bother reading editorialsThis always exactly sums up my own view. I've always loved reading the political columnists (as I guess you call them in Britain) but I can't remember ever enthusiatically reading an editorial (obviously on occasion, e..g today when I had read the rest of the paper, you have a go). I wonder why this is? A few ideas thrown in the air... Is it because editorials are nameless, so you don't know where it is coming from? Is it because they usually tend to be rather generalist, so someone who reads the rest of the paper and columnists tend to find them boring? Do others feel the same way, and can they explain why (or not)?
