This will likely only happen for controversial papers, as they have higher impact potential and will attract more eyes to look at the data. But I have no problem doing it for any topic that is of high relevance. So major errors on liberal bias would count too if raised.
Sounds fair, in principle. In practice, what counts as 'controversial' is determined by the culture's ideology & power politics, including whoever can mobilize the most strident activist campaigns to intimidate scientists and journals. E.g. the campaign to discredit this paper.
