The article was crammed with facts. ... Opinion admittedly

Opinions are not facts.

Unless it's coming from Tee or any op-ed he supports, of course     ;)

<<Even some of the names are wrong. >>

"Wrong" as in misspelled, or wrong as in the wrong person was named as holder of a particular office or what?

Methinks if there were substance to the nitpicking, full details would be freely dispensed; your reticence leads me to believe that the "errors" if they exist at all are truly insignificant.

Of course not.  But the combination of the opinion with the name of the person holding it is very definitely a fact;  if that person previously held the opposite opinion, that is a newsworthy fact; and, of course, it's a fact that certain influential opinion-makers are swinging around to a different view of things.  That's news.   If you can't understand WHY that's news, or why that's fact, we had best agree to disagree and move on to something else.

Like i said i'm not counterpunch's fact checker. If they want to be a real publication they might need to get their own.

In the meantime........garbage in, garbage out.

  I don't consider it a fact that  Imperialists in power in the USA exist.


   This may seem like a safe assumption to you , but I consider it to be an opinion based on assumption.
