It's is 'opinion', so the word 'stolen' is an opinion. There is nothing in journalism that says emotionally charged words cannot be used.
Of course 'opinions' are often 'pitches'.
What kind of editing, exactly, would decide that specific word should not be used? And how, exactly, do you propose to 'stop this on all fronts'?
Easy test for your outrage. If it was a GOP president unable to even get a hearing for a SCOTUS vacancy for 11 months and the editorial was worded exactly as this one, substituting Dem for GOP where necessary, would you be posting about it?

So the key in journalism is apparently to exploit using certain words....as in...."stolen"
BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is why we need to stop this on all fronts.
It's an op ed piece that is supported by so called journalists. When you pitch a header as "stolen"... there is no editing and there is no opinion. It is merely a pitch....and fodder.
