    True story. Back in 2008 there were two op-ed pieces on the smae page of the Murdoch owned New York Post.

    One said that voting for Obama was a waste of time, because he was a centrist neoliberal who’d only serve up milder versions of GOP programs, so you’d be better off with an actual Republican.

    The other screamed that he was a radical Socialist who would destroy America.

    Same newspaper, same page, no irony

        Not only is it what Op Eds are for, it’s also extremely common practice to have two contrasting views on the same page to give voice to a variety of different opinions.

        Complaining about two Op Eds on the same page with different opinions is like complaining that a dictionary has two definitions of two different words on the same page.
