Twenty-six paragraphs in and the Times informs its readers that "Washington is a town where much is run by twentysomethings."

Huh. So the problem really isn't their age is it

"...many have little government experience..."

It appears the New York Times views this as a criticism

Forty-three paragraphs into the NYT's latest hit piece on @elonmusk, the six (!) by-lined reporters reveal that the federal government lost $236 billion to apparent fraud ("improper payments") in 2023 alone. Maybe this isn't the dunk you guys thought it was?

The statement critiques the lack of evidence provided by authors regarding DOGE's performance and suggests that elite panic, including from the NYT, indicates the opposite outcome. The tone is skeptical and challenges the narrative presented by the media.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm but challenges the credibility of the authors and media, which can be seen as a form of critique rather than harm.
  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 criticism of the media's narrative, suggesting a lack of evidence and implying bias, but does not resort to personal attacks. [+1]
