“And we spend a lot of time choosing the right articles to publish and trying to get the message right. We think we're an antidote for misinformation.”
Indeed, but maybe these journals define misinformation in the conventional way, not the MAGA way. That could be the problem here. If you publish anything too “woke”, it could attract threats like these.
Sounds suspiciously uncritical of the situation.
Maybe it would have clarified if I had added some negative expressions such as “misguided MAGA notion” or “authoritarian dictator”.
