    Look, I’m generalizing here, but there seems to be an almost intentional effort on the part of many journalists and journalistic outlets to misunderstand “The Right”.

    Its the charity part, which, like I get the journalistic training and the importance of giving someone you might disagree with the the charity required to have a conversation, but “The Right” has been using this act of good faith to further their agenda. We shouldn’t be giving them charity. Period. They’ve broken with the good faith required to support that charity. “The RIght” aren’t arguing or acting in good faith, and so charity shouldn’t be extended to them. They are captured by a kind of cynicism that is not compatible with civil society.
