Well actually fuck the nyt. I felt roughly neutral about them but now that I saw them write about a topic I'm deeply familiar with I realize how actually inaccurate and misrepresenting and unethical they are.

It was phrased in a way to make the community seem secretly right wing trying to pretend it's not, when this is absolutely not the case

It truthfully states that it was harbouring right wingers.

It harboured left wingers too, why are we only focusing on one half of the political spectrum here
The single best defense of communism I've ever read was by an SSC commenter who would probably be fired for communism by many companies if he were doxxed

I think that’s missing the point. ‘Harbouring’ as used here seems to Neanderthal ‘read by’. So presumably the NYT also ‘harbours’ right wingers. These criticisms are in bad faith.

Presumably because NYT is left leaning and free speech / anti-mainstream media is a lot more associated with right wing than left wing. The article seems to highlight this, which I think is a fair critique.

Because the NYT standard is that if you are willing to talk to right wingers or to let them talk, you are automatically one yourself. They do not believe the same applies if you are willing to talk to left wingers.
