    Just as a heads up, when you post an article, unless otherwise stated, you are telling people that the source can be trusted. So, yes in a way you are asking us to trust them

      It’s an opinion piece. This isn’t reporting. It says “Commentary” up at the top of the article.

      I think you can “trust” when someone tells you that their opinion is actually their opinion. That’s the only question of “trust” here.

      There’s an op-ed in the NYT right now titled At the Met Gala, Celebrities Are Nearly Nude. Are We Not Aroused? Do you trust that?
