here, a survey of some articles from the past several years at the Connecticut Post as it covered naturopathy, which quite obviously it had a huge soft spot for journalistically speaking: 

001. so, for example, at ctpost.com, there's [reverse chronology, via news.google.com archives]:

001.a. 2019 Linda Conner Lambeck's "Alternative Medicine Program to End at UB, Leaving Students in Limbo" (2019-04-07):

with nothing critical concerning naturopathy, categorically; Lambeck is a UB grad. [2020 archived];

001.b. 2019 Linda Conner Lambeck's "University of Bridgeport Drops Popular Majors" (2019-04-06):

001.o. reflections:

do you see a pattern?  Me thinks...

002. meanwhile, in the big leagues, Gary Nunn at theguardian.com wrote "Naturopaths are Snake-Oil Salespeople Masquerading as Health Professionals" (2019-03-24):

and I think that is quite a contrast.
