No, but my comment is in reference to those posts. But what makes this one especially egregious is that Reason has not pretenses about being an objective new source.

The first line of their about page is: "Founded in 1968, Reason is the nation's leading libertarian magazine."

OP has a point. The NY Times recently began a process of shedding their ideals of objectivity too. They claim the views and inclinations of whiteness are accepted as the objective neutral.

I agree that NYT has a bias. But they at least _try_ to appear objective (or at least objective with a left leaning slant). The article you linked is an opinion piece by a NYT writer and not the official stance of NYT (as far as I know).

Also, I am not fighting for NYT articles here. I wish that there would be no opinion pieces that are not tech related. This post just seemed particularly egregious because it is an opinion piece from a new outlet that is openly and explicitly biased.
