> Same thing as the NYT publishing an article about how the space program was about white supremacy. Same thing as the Times' 1619 project, which alleged that the Revolutionary War was fought to preserve slavery in the colonies.

Do you disagree with these claims because you think they're factually wrong, or because you don't like them ideologically?



There's two arguments here, 1. whether the claims are factual and 2. whether the Times is "forcing events and personalities into a narrow, pre-conceived frame that bore little relation to the reality before him".

My post focused on 2.


I don't think that you can force much of anything into a frame that bears little relation to reality if the thing you're forcing is, in fact, reality.

It is certainly reasonable to criticize a journalist or journalistic organization for only pursuing stories of a particular ideological bent, but it's quite different to accuse them of pursuing incorrect stories. If you mean to only do the former, then I misinterpreted what you meant.
