What do you perceive to be their bias / agenda re: remote work?

(Honest question).

They have a strong bias in favor of "establishment" viewpoints. Stuff like:

Remote work will hurt your career (https://www.wsj.com/articles/think-working-from-home-wont-hu...)

"Productivity theater" and employees cheating (https://www.wsj.com/articles/your-boss-still-thinks-youre-fa...)

Remote work means American jobs will be outsourced to cheaper countries (https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/tech-news-briefing/tech-industr...)

It's hard to make a point with a handful of links, but if you read it regularly then the bias is pretty clear.

Their readership skews older. I’ve seen 99.5+% of comments being anti-remote work when I was a subscriber.
