Especially since this is not an outlier issue. The fact-lite "on the other hand" approach has contributed to the media disaster of 2016.

If you add million+ subscribers with the slogan "truth matters more than ever", you shld be worried if there's no backlash to this.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People miss the backlash isn't to one column. It's that this was a 2017 hire with tenure to write with no fact-checking. Many years of this.

Absolutely. That's why we need term limits for columnists--more than for Congressmen. Personally I favor a Constitutional amendment
