Correct. It may be someone’s opinion, and NYT can say it’s someone’s opinion and not their own, but how many pro-victims, pro-women, pro-Palestine, pro-human rights opinions were not printed so this “opinion” could be printed?
If you’re the biggest newspaper in the country (or one of them), you can’t claim opinion. You’d get thousands of submissions. What you print reflects your values because there are things you chose not to print. (You being them. English is strange.)

“One” may work better in this situation.

Thanks. Always felt a bit condescending using “one,” though it would fit better here.
