This whole article is fucking awesome, but I think maybe this line says it best:

The goal isn’t to anesthetize disagreement; it is to inoculate public life against dehumanizing hierarchies smuggled in as common sense.

Psychological inoculation is the key to battling disinformation, and calling out half truths or fact checking claims is not intolerance. It’s just bare minimum moral responsibility for anyone claiming to represent a liberal viewpoint.

Neutrality has a side. Camus put the duty starkly: “The writer’s role is not free from difficult duties. By definition he cannot put himself today in the service of those who make history; he is at the service of those who suffer it.” The same charge falls now on the podcaster, the news anchor, the radio host—every keeper of a microphone. Let liberal platforms prove their willingness to meet the demands of this moment—by whom they book, how they frame, and what ideas they center in the weeks ahead. The task now is not to lower the temperature, but to raise the standard.
