What’s questionable about the methodology?

I am talking about the specifics of the survey that @colsunderground.bsky.social posted and nothing else. I don’t know or care about whatever these podcasters think the founder’s motivations are or what they think of his book. It’s totally irrelevant to the post.

They All Signed the “Harper’s” Letter. Where Are They Now? Many of those who were loudest in denouncing cancel culture then are now curiously silent in the face of Donald Trump’s assaults on free speech.
