The Hill's review of John Solomon's columns on Ukraine
In many of his columns, Solomon did include caveats that Ukraine is infamous for corruption and disinformation operations, including Russian interference, and he did seek comment from parties who were mentioned critically in his columns. While appropriate for news reporting, that is not typical of opinion writing; it had the consequence of further blurring the distinction between news and opinion for some readers.
Unlike other employees, Solomon had a hybrid role at The Hill, working in Hill.TV, opinion and/or news. Solomon did not report to a specific management official in the newsroom, which was an unusual personnel situation at The Hill. This hybrid role further undermined the distinction between opinion contributor and news-based journalist, since Solomon could be seen as writing an opinion column in one section while reporting news as an interviewer on Hill.TV.
In certain columns, Solomon failed to identify important details about key Ukrainian sources, including the fact that they had been indicted or were under investigation. In other cases, the sources were his own attorneys.

Daughter of Ronald Reagan draws on Hitler in anti-Trump op-ed
Patti Davis, 67, opened her Tuesday Daily Beast article by appealing to the memory of her father, writing, "My father talked a lot about government at home — that it had gotten too big and took too much of people’s money."
Davis joins her brother, 61-year-old Ron Reagan Jr., who also recently blasted the president with graphic, scatological terms in a Daily Beast article last month. "My father would — although he might not use words like this because he was a fairly genteel person — my father would pinch Trump’s empty head off and shit down his flabby neck," Ron Reagan Jr. wrote.
Ron Reagan Jr. and Davis were Ronald Reagan's children with Nancy Reagan. He had two other children with his first wife, Jane Wyman. His adopted son, Michael, 74, is an outspoken evangelical Christian who has publicly called his brother "an embarrassment" for claiming their father suffered from Alzheimer's disease while in office.
Michael described his brother's Daily Beast interview to the Washington Examiner as "just sad," adding, "All I can do is pray, as our father did, for Ron."
