The point would be valid if "argument expressed in the editorial section of the New York Times" had the same weight as "argument not expressed in the editorial section of the New York Times." This can be solved by inspection; that they have an editorial board at all illustrates that they consider some opinions to be more important than others. This is the principal beef that every pearl-clutching 'boomer, closet racist and establishmentarianism refuses to see: the NYTimes is saying "all opinions are equal, some are more equal than others."
