      The response to the NYT article about campus free speech is really telling!

      Example: This is such a profound misunderstanding of what journalism and opinion writing are. I find it really hard to believe that Jason Stanley actually thinks the Times has a 'responsibility' of this sort, or that he actually thinks we're anywhere near McCarthyism.pic.twitter.com/oR9zNfkvBs

      You get mad at people when they say you don't take right-wing assaults on free speech seriously but this tweet shows that your instinct is to be dismissive of the problem.

          Doesn't it just show differing thoughts on what the NYT has and does not have an obligation to do? Seems folks in your camp view a high obligation for the editorial staff to take hardline stances on certain partisan issues and base which stories are ran on those stances.

          Which is a position that's increasingly common given our partisan landscape, but someone simply preferring opposing views in the NYT opinion section, even if they're morally wrong, doesn't imply they can't also think another troubling thing going on in politics isn't bad.

          I really appreciate you checking in regularly to tell me that you find my priorities suspect -- this is a super helpful habit -- but I've written at some length about these laws and what they do and don't do

          Alternatively he can hold two thoughts in his head at once and addresses issues as they arise.
