Can we start a thread in the Breaking News column with only an OpEd to support it?

This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Generally no. An opinion piece is usually not considered legitimate breaking news. Typically I will move such a thread to the appropriate forum. Be aware however, that this is a sometimes a judgement call dependent on topicality and the renown/stature of the OpEd author.
