Try this:

>I'd like to point out that CoastalCoder wrote this comment. Take that for what you will.

See? Highlighting with this phrasing aligns exactly with your definition. The framing is defaulting to negative-neutral.

I don't think this is a case of dog-whistling, because AFAICT the author isn't trying to conceal his point.

I.e., he intends every reader to recognize that he's saying that the publisher might be biased. He's not being explicit about what that bias is, but presumably he expects curious readers to look into it themselves.

It's flawed (by your own definition) to say that just because you don't detect a dogwhistle that it's not a dogwhistle.

>the author isn't trying to conceal his point

False. The parent asked you to draw your own conclusions!
