It's precisely because superficially charedim appear to be the height of religious seriousness that it is necessary for people like Rav Slifkin to point out why this nonsense. When so many dati Leumi leaders do not want to criticize them either because they think this will reflect badly on all religious Jews as this article says or because they sympathize with charedim in some aspects, it is even more important that voices like Rav Slifkin are heard to expose the realities of the charedi world.
What we need is a combination of his exposes to show that not only the practices but also the values of that community today are completely antithetical to Torah values in so many areas, but also some history lessons so people can understand what Torah life was really like in previous generations and how far from it the current charedi community has come.
Most yeshivish Americans I know have no idea that Torah true, DL roshei yeshiva exist. They don't know anything about the DL communities and yeshivot in Israel.
