I found a very interesting source, which doesn't criticize the academic left but analyzes it in depth (also comparing it with the conservative point of view): [1]; can we add this source to the article? JacktheBrown (talk) 08:07, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. From WP:RSNP "Medium is a blog hosting service. As a self-published source, it is considered generally unreliable and should be avoided unless the author is a subject-matter expert or the blog is used for uncontroversial self-descriptions. Medium should never be used as a secondary source for living persons. A 2022 RfC also found that Cuepoint, Medium's music publication, is marginally reliable, with editors stating that its reliability depends on the qualification of the author."
