I think the second comment here almost crosses the line into outright conspiracism. For example, the article on Scott alexander may have been framed in a negative way, but you can read through the article yourself: nothing in there is a lie. Similarly, Time may have a skewed perspective and negative framing, but they still have journalistic standards and were reporting on real allegations.
It also falls on the trap of debating whether EA is as bad as “average” or not, rather than whether there is room for improvement, which there very clearly and obviously is.
I am terrified that you were so thoroughly downvoted… “EA only wants to hear shallow critiques, not deep ones” seems to be happening vigorously, still.
