York put herself firmly in the latter IMO and fell into the CyclingNews rabbit hole when she did.
York said "I genuinely don't know"
I fail to see that as any camp other than the "I genuinely don't know camp"

She wouldn’t write an article about it if she didn’t want to send a message, and her message to the public was clearly “this stinks”.
I don’t know her personally but I found her quite bitter in other topics as well, like that recent “cycling fashion” roasting article for Rouleur.

You are right I think

York said "I genuinely don't know"
"I genuinely don't know. But he looks like a cheating scum weasel, doesn't he? And his team definitely seem like a bunch of cheating scum weasels. In fact, they're a bunch of cheating scum weasels who smell bad. I wouldn't be surprised if the organisers of the Tour de France wouldn't want a bunch of stinky cheating scum weasels at their race. And as a cheating scum weasel myself, I know what I'm talking about. But I genuinely don't know."
As you said, context.

Ditto on the riding of GTs for me, but people talk about it and we have seen it bhefore in terms of Nibali and Contador.
Possibly, but she did frame the article by citing that individual response and building an argument that indeed the ride was beyond inevitability and so credibility.
There are two narratives emerging; what I would consider the more measured objective one that looks at stage 19 as a well-judged, daring attack with Chris riding to his strengths, taking advantage of the surface of the Finestre and some risk on the descent, and the disorganised chase from isolated rivals, with the other, hyperbolic reaction which simply is that it was a super-human, alien effort that no-one should have been capable of.
