I mean the website isn't a monolith; some parts are good, some parts aren't. Different writers have different perspectives.

I think TFA is trying to argue that it's possible to see the world as a basically safe place, despite the presence of this kind of inconsistency. The website's not perfect, but it seems like it has some things going for it, and anyway you're smart and can get by just fine in a world with imperfect media :-)
