Not an article, an opinion piece, the fact that people don't make the difference between the two is part of the reason why we're in deep shit now.

In my mind the Venn diagram showed opinion piece inside of the article circle.

Wikipedia seems to agree.

An opinion piece is an article, usually published in a newspaper or magazine, that mainly reflects the author's opinion about a subject.

Maybe the distinction you think of is more along the lines "news reporting" and "opinion piece"

Right, I've corrected "article" into "opinion piece".
