"I've been taken hostage" is an opinion piece?

I mean, it's not technically news - it's by a third-party contributor so it would be dishonest to not label it as "opinion".

But, yeah, it's definitely kind of surreal to read, you're not wrong in finding it bizarre.

That was exactly my thought.

An opinion piece is an article that reflects the opinion of the author, not necessarily that of the paper.
