> I tried, except, everywhere I looked, they promoted Op-ed pieces with equal billing and authority as traditional investigative reporting.

I share your dislike of this trend. In the physical paper days, the opinion pieces were kept within a specific section of the paper (usually end of section A, and column one on the front page), and it made a difference. Now you see people taking an opinion piece as speaking with the voice of the paper all the time.

It would make a real difference if the background of the page was different for opinion, or something, but I have no idea how to get there from here.

_The Economist_ has pretty good international coverage, but it's a weekly magazine, so a different focus, and they are not shy about their promotion of free trade and classical liberalism in the opinion sections, so you have to be ready for that.
