"Far too many journalists have become opinion writers instead of fact-based writers."

===

Ms. Robbins ought to be aware that she responded to an opinion piece, written by someone who describes herself in her own Twitter profile as a columnist, critic and commentator. Those are all forms of opinion, by definition.

That doesn't mean that Krista Kafer isn't also a journalist, although gigs critiquing wine for freebie throwaway tabloid (Westword) and as a radio commentator don't necessarily speak to journalistic credentials. 

And her "tsunami of fresh air" was clearly labeled "opinion."
