Weiss kind of made a career out of pearl clutching and decrying the "intolerant left" in academia [0]. A stopped clock is right twice a day, as they say, but Weiss (like most opinion columnists) is largely just in the outrage peddling business, deploying facts only sparingly and selectively. I include Greenwald - linked below - in this group as well, but it's difficult to find any kind of serious rebuttal against her from a non-columnist (because that's kind of the game that's being played here). Anyway, Weiss is both a troll and a hypocrite, so it's easy to discount her posts as flamebait. That doesn't mean she's always wrong, of course, but she's got a well earned reputation which suggests one should take her with more than a pinch of salt (IMO, this is basically true for anybody who decides to "publish" on a substack blog).
