This is really the whole thing with Bari Whatever-her-name-is. She was never a journalist as much as a social media/SEO bot-type thingy
This is the type of response I'd get from other editors at NYT when I'd pitch them on opinion pieces. Opinion sections at newspapers value contrarianism over everything else.
i always look back on this email as predictive of where she was heading

Conservative cold war just went hot at AmFest. Shapiro just came for Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Steve Bannon HARD, not sideways or with caveats but head-on and furious

I want Chris Stapleton to do John Denver’s “Christmas for Cowboys”. I believe I’d like to hear that. I was trying to do a version of it, but it’s real hard to play guitar and sing at the same time.

As much as I’ve long had enormous respect for Dr. Offit, unfortunately I think he’s wrong about this. COVID taught us that death from disease will no longer “do the education.” We’re now well and truly screwed. Dr. Offit is working from the perspective of a pre-social media prepandemic world.
One of the things about trust is that it is efficient. It saves you having to invest a lot of time and effort in verification, and if placed in the right places, saves you a lot of pain.
"The diseases will do the education" is what we get when we don't trust.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.
