@mtaibbi Matt, don't pretend you wouldn't be agreeing with him if he were talking about a politician you don't support instead of one you do support.

Amazing re NYT: “Correspondent Edward Wong wrote… that he typically chose not to quote [Senator Tom] Cotton in his own stories because his comments ‘often represent neither a widely held majority opinion nor a well-thought-out minority opinion.’” https://www.theatlantic.com/idea…

The statement is part of a conversation about journalistic practices and political biases. The tone is defensive and seeks to clarify the speaker's position regarding a politician. The content is focused on a disagreement about perceived support for a politician.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not seem to intend harm but is part of a defensive clarification in a conversation. [+1]
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in dialogue with someone who disagrees, although it lacks a constructive tone.
