But that wasn’t a strawman argument like you accused them of…? I don’t understand why you think you should be able to harass people but then yourself be free from even polite criticism, even in the replies to a comment thread where someone may genuinely not notice your username (sorry) in a connected thread 8 comments away.

That’s irrelevant. Things don’t magically go from bad to good just because a worse version of the same thing exists.
Only difference is how sneaky they are about it. The bias they’re deliberately trying to spread is the same.
Quality of journalism isn’t a binary based on whether it is propagandizing for the correct side.
Yet another thing I never said or even implied. If you want anyone to take you seriously, it would behoove you to put away the strawmen.
… But they said that. They were reiterating their point.
