"Sure, the robber barons were cruel and rapacious, but they ultimately gave away their fortunes to build schools and libraries" kind of falls apart when their great-grandson still has enough generational wealth to give $50M to a literal felon's presidential campaign.

It's pretty disgusting that editorships at major papers are going to UK reactionaries who are dumber than a bag of hammers, can't write their way out of a paper bag, view facts as threats to their ideology, and have the ethics of a hyena. They're taking jobs away from Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens.
