These two pieces were published nine days apart but by chance I saw they both today. I'm in no position to judge them, but I'm struck by their convergence and timing.
1. "The Coronavirus Consensus Was Wrong"

(#paywalled)
A book review in the _Chronicle of Higher Education_. Two Princeton political scientists who "describe themselves as progressives," Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee, argue that “the truth-seeking functions of journalism, science, and universities [were] undermined by class bias, political polarization, partisan animosity, premature moralization of disagreements, and intolerance of reasonable dissent and contestation.”
2. "COVID-19 advocacy bias in the BMJ: meta-research evaluation"
https://bmjopenquality.bmj.com/content/14/1/e003131
In an article (not an editorial) in _BMJ Open Quality_ four researchers argue that during the pandemic "#BMJ had a strong bias in favour of authors advocating an aggressive approach to COVID-19 mitigation" and published too many opinion and advocacy pieces with little or no review.
