Lolwut? That's not how that works. If I broke the law as part of my job, then yeah my employer would be held accountable as an accomplice and facilitator of the crime.

He is doing his job writing for the Times, what is and isn't labeled an opinion is merely a stylistic choice because everything gets an editorial second look before it is published anyway, it's not some free platform like Reddit where any random Ivan from Petrozavodsk can share his opinion on e-vote cybersecurity in Michigan.

I'm guessing you were born after the internet, and I mean this in the nicest way possible but internet platforms are largely an exception when it comes to whether a publisher is responsible for the content they choose to publish.

See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230

Prior to the Internet, case law was clear that a liability line was drawn between publishers of content and distributors of content; a publisher would be expected to have awareness of material it was publishing and thus should be held liable for any illegal content it published

To me this is very sound logic and basis of law regarding responsibility, obviously no laws were broken here but if we're discussing whether the new york times is characterized by the content they choose to publish, the answer is a pretty resounding yes.
