The opinion writers are purposely selected to oppose and challenge the viewpoint of the editorial board. Assuming that the editorial board is largely truly correct, there is going to be some degree of intellectual dishonesty among the opposing opinion writers.

I do sympathize with you; I do not enjoy many of their opinions.

The NYT hired Sarah Jeong to their editorial board so it's safe to say there is toxicity on both the editorial and opinion side of the paper.

Edit, for those of you unfamiliar with this particular editor you can read her own words on Twitter:
