Correctness is a great tool. You can never be flagged for outright appeals to censorship (some loons try that, but almost always fail). You set some “rules,” then use social (that subject is offensive!) and often academic (smart scholars don’t look into these things!) pressure to marginalize what you seek to marginalize.

It's odd that the discourse you are so worried about here is that of Murray and Harris, two affluent and successful guys with large audiences, guys with no problem getting their views heard and making a living from it. Literally no one is censoring them. Klein engages with Harris and patiently gives him a platform and publishes their conversation and you whine about censorship.
It reminds of the way Trump gets the NYT and CNN and the rest to cover his every utterance, and then complains about fake news.
