New York Times accused of 'sanewashing' Trump post with report on dumping 'brown liquid'

18. Yes, we must sanewash the sanewashers lest insanity prevail?

For some, blind allegiance to legacy media seems to be the most important issue of our time. I’m not sure what this statement is meant to argue? Are we trying to chill criticism on the basis that disagreement exists? I guess we should have no problem with the Dobbs decision overturning Roe because the Supreme Court would have been criticized no matter what they did? If, more charitably, you are saying that the NYT will never be “good enough” for some of us, that might be true, but it doesn’t directly respond to the sanewashing accusations here. Being the target of the hypercritical does not by itself shield one from all criticism.
