NBC publishes its standard liberal commentary about an inflammatory topic (CRT and schools) dressed up as news. They send one of the reporters, @BrandyZadrozny, onto TV with Chris Hayes to discuss it. She says remarkably dumb and offensive things and gets criticized for it. Thus:

Male journalists like Ben invoke, so cynically, precepts of feminism in part to show what Good Allies they are but, more so, to place journalists off limits from criticism. That's their main goal. And they use a regressive view of women to do it (too fragile to be criticized).
Brandy's TV comments that attracted criticism were obnoxious and odious, whining how unfair it is that the uncredentialed masses are imposing "onerous" FOIA requests to learn what their kids are being taught. But if you criticize this, you're sexist:

Anyway, Ben Collins is a really really good Ally and I think that's clear. And while his view that his female journalistic colleagues are too fragile to be criticized seems misogynistic, manipulative and regressive to me, I suppose some appreciate his chivalrous defense.
