    @rosco posted this video in the, ah, contentious thread about a New York Times op-ed that got posted recently. I found it to be a very good video, and felt it deserved its own post. So here it is.

    This one's from Lily Alexandre and is about how articles like "A Voice of Hate in America's Heartland" (which normalized a card-carrying neo-Nazi) or op-eds like "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?" (I don't have to explain why that's bad) are getting published in the NYT.

    Regarding the title: The other thread this was posted in was argumentative in part because the title the NYT gave their article may as well have been deliberately provocative. While Lily Alexandre's title isn't that bad, I've elected to temper it anyways to avoid the same here. I'm fine with any changes that preserve this goal.

    It's nice to have someone specifically call out the pivot in coverage of trans issues and that it explicitly came from the leadership. I'm tired of being told they're being balanced.
