If you actually have substantive criticisms (that don't devolve to "I can clairvoyantly intuit your intent and thus know you to be an unreliable narrator even though I'm not going to be concrete/specific anywhere"), I'm happy to hear them! I've written extensively on this topic. My archive is full of specific examples you can adjudicate (many of which were brought to journalists by people who were not me). Earn yourself some correction bucks if you spot any overstatements! But your argument here was abstract, meanspirited, and not a meaningful attempt to take any specifics in my argument seriously. Hence why I screencapped it and intend to use it in my collection of journalists doing exactly that (i.e., reflexively dismissing concerns without any demonstrated curiosity or engagement with the meat of any of my proffered examples).

EDIT: Fixed two typos. (Also note what edit marks are what people use to avoid changing what they wrote after the fact!)
