Berger is not a "one note journalist". He literally wrote the book "Liftoff" which is great telling of the story of SpaceX, and has covered space topics in extensive detail for a long time. The article is important because the narrative told by the administration is clearly not true and in bad faith, and it is right to call it out.

My impression is that Berger is well meaning, but out of his element.
By asking "Can space remain nonpartisan?", as if any government agency was even remotely non-partisan to begin with, or as if that was even a theoretical possibility, betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of how government functions.
He comes off as one here, although I'll take your word for it.
I agree the rhetoric hasn't been great, I'm just tired of seeing this polarizing language from both sides and it's, as i said, tiring and just noise.
If you sound like everyone else, how is anyone supposed to hear you?
