    The article reports…

    “Billionaires in my opinion don’t have a right to exist,” says Shawn Fain, who is leading the United Automobile Workers…

    During a rally… Mr. Fain invoked President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s hallowed phrase… “Today, the enemy isn’t some foreign country miles away — it’s right here in our own area,” he said… “It’s corporate greed.”

    Later, the article argues…

    Whether Mr. Fain’s fiery words will lead to effective negotiations is an open question. Fiery words can inspire, but they can also anger. Stellantis said the union leaders seemed “more concerned about pursuing their own political agendas than negotiating.” G.M. denounced the union’s “rhetoric and theatrics,” and Ford said the U.A.W. should focus on talks and not “planning strikes and P.R. events.”

    Well, thank you, New York Times, for your honesty. As enlightened centrists, we all know you have no political agenda of your own.

    You just report facts.
