Thanks, I was wondering why he couldn’t spell his name right.

I learn something every day:

"The times is a Leftist mouthpiece and propaganda organ, the letter is a nice summation of this."

It's pretty damning, specifically pointing out that the bigotry, racism, anti-semitism, and bullying that the Times is always attacking Trump and others for, is alive and well, and over-powering in the offices of the newspaper. Frankly, I'm surprised no employee, or fired employee has ever gone berserk and killed people after working in that environment.

Thanks for posting this.

She should Sue them for having to work in a Hostile Environment.

Hopefully she kept a record of every Personal Attack, Slander and Threat directed at her by her Leftist “co-workers” and people in Management Positions.

The storage locker guy?

“She should Sue them for having to work in a Hostile Environment.”

Sadly, the jury would consist of NY libs, so she most likely would lose.

[CedarDave]

Rush just mentioned her saying “it shouldn’t take an act of courage to go to work in the morning.”

He’ll have more in the next segment.

This is an excellent letter and worth clicking through to and reading.

Interesting observation:

“ Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space.”

...colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m “writing about the Jews again.” Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly “inclusive” one, while others post ax emojis next to my name.

Worth reading the full letter. It shows a sick culture at the NYTimes collapsing toward an intellectual singularity.

The lesson they learned from 16 is simply that they didn’t cheat enough. That has been corrected.

[AggregateThreat]

Ok I admit, this is funny.

[Rocky]

Great letter.

“ Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space.”

And anyone familiar with Twitter knows it's a Lefty sewer of hate and bigotry.

"...But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else..."

Yeah, that paragraph nails it.

Beautiful, well-written article. That fish wrap doesn't deserve you, Bari.

[kiryandil]

The lesson they learned from 16 is simply that they didn’t cheat enough. That has been corrected.

The lesson they didn't learn from 2020 is that our side has already declared Trump the victor due to their cheating.

And that we're not going to let them get anywhere near the White House.

[SE Mom]

Thanks for posting- Weiss has done the unthinkable and she did it very well.

She’s a handsome lass

Money shot

Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

Oh the horror

Confederates...

Here’s your smelling salts....

Look at their WWII shenanigans for real evil
