I get the impression Bari thinks the mainstream went wrong in only platforming mono-perspectives. I think they actually went wrong in platforming "bad faith" perspectives in support of their mono-perspective.

I think there are good faith arguments to make about the MAGA position on Ukraine (i.e. Trump inherits a bad situation and the ugliness is just due to ripping the band aid off, or it's Europe's problem they need to step up and handle their own business).

My objection to Ms. Ungar-Sargon is not that she provides a MAGA viewpoint, but that she provides bad faith arguments. I come to TFP not just for a variety of perspectives but for perspectives made in good faith. Ms. Ungar-Sargon falls well short of that standard.
