From your link;
Quote:
Mission Statement

In These Times is a nonprofit and independent newsmagazine committed to political and economic democracy and opposed to the dominance of transnational corporations and the tyranny of marketplace values over human values. In These Times is dedicated to reporting the news with the highest journalistic standards; to informing and analyzing movements for social, environmental and economic justice; and to providing an accessible forum for debate about the policies that shape our future.
I doubt an organization dedicated to promoting what are essentially "progressive" values can be counted on to offer an even remotely unbiased opinion of Mr. D'Souza's statements and assertions.

Show me in your quote where they say they are promoting "progressive" values. It says "independent news magazine." Independent as in unbiased.

Painting corporations and free market policies as evil is one of the major talking points of "progressives".

Not independent as in unbiased. Independent as in not directly affiliated with a political party.
