They should write about all the flaws in Cotton’s piece, and even criticize the editor for printing it.
But they should not jump to demanding a scalp.
But that’s just me. I’m a dinosaur who thinks one should examine the circumstances and dismantle bad arguments on their merits. And I’d argue for a return to a bit of elitist-think, if that’s at all allowed, and suggest the most aggressive and demanding of voices are often the dumbest, and their screams for a sacrifice should not be granted by fearful organizations like the Times.
Even the French aristocracy were given show trials.
