That's an un-nuanced take. The NYT or WP Editorials aren't? I will say things have improved but look at the headlines throughout 2020 and 2021, at least on U.

That's an un-nuanced take. The NYT or WP Editorials aren't? I will say things have improved but look at the headlines throughout 2020 and 2021, at least on U.S. social topics, of the NYT. The editorial page spilled outside of the opinion section. Almost every article about any topic, from domestic policies to art to education or health, was about an identity issue. BTW, Brett Stephens almost got booted, as the staff revolted, if you recall. However I'm not going to defend the WSJ - I'm only going to point out that you're overlaying your own political litmus tests and establishing a spectrum that reasonable people can disagree with. It doesn't matter if you polled 200 articles, because your criteria are debatable (along with Trump = fascism, and I loathe Trump). Fascism is something you could define objectively with agreed definitions with a historical context: there are philosophical underpinnings and political programs. Fascism as a label is not subject to arbitrary definitions outside of student activist circles.
