thad stop reading people's blogs specifically so you have an excuse to make a pun with their name somewhere down the line
NEVER
Ha ha, I love how they included [Opinion] in the title, because they're really actually totally psyched to read the Watchmen Prequels, for real, and it's not because they don't want to lose their good relationship with the Big Two.
Er, they slap categories on things, dude. Opinion, Humor, Art, Preview, etc. This is clearly an opinion peace. As were the raft of posts Laura Hudson and the rest of the staff put up last fall about the sexism in DC's New 52 and Big Two comics as a whole -- not something she did because she was worried about retaliation.
I've got my complaints about CA/AOL/Huffington, but "they put 'Opinion' on opinion pieces" is not one of them.
(EDIT: I've looked back at the Hudson posts and they're actually not tagged "Opinion" in the title; I stand corrected on that one. I still think it's more a case of CA being woefully inconsistent in its sorting and indexing than any kind of ass-kissing.)
