NY Times writers in 'open revolt' after publication of Cotton op-ed, claim black staff 'in danger'
Fox News ^ | June 03 2020 | Sam Dorman

The New York Times is facing backlash, some of it from the paper's own reporters, after publishing an op-ed in which Sen, Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called on the federal government to send in the military to quell violent uprisings over George Floyd's death.

"NYT reporters in a rare open revolt over the opinion side running Tom Cotton's op-ed calling to deploy the military to 'restore order,'" tweeted Politico's Alex Thompson, who cited posts from writers Taylor Lorenz, Caity Weaver, Sheera Frankel, and Jacey Fortin.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, op-ed writer Roxane Gay attacked the decision to publish Cotton's piece and also argued it put the newspaper's staff in danger.

Why? Is the black staff of the NY Times taking part in the rioting and looting, and isn't that a bigger story than NY Times writers whining?

These a-holes really are pushing these false narratives to the max and trying to destroy everything in their paths.

I think they’d be in danger if the local Starbucks ran out of those $7 marginal cheesecakes, or the local grocery ran out of diet Tab.

I don’t think these people are capable of living full and rich lives. They seem to be acting more like 12-year-old kids.

It will continue to get worse. There is nothing you can do to make it any better or even stay the same.

It’s true.

Is this an emerging trend on the left?

Zuckerberg at Facebook declines to remove a post by President Trump, and the workers threaten a walkout because "management doesn't have their backs."

A Republican Senator has an op-ed printed in the nation's foremost newspaper, and the staff is in "open revolt" against management?

It seems that liberal proletariat class is feeling its oats and is trying to rule over their rulers.

How does a NY Times writer openly revolt?

Does he send a sternly worded letter to his cube mate?

The level of histrionics has ratcheted up so much year after year. It is unbelievable.

Ah yes, “All the news that’s fit to print except what we don’t like”.

Marxism and black racism is alive and growing at the NY Times. Why am I not surprised?

By now, an opposition riot would have had OBama send squads upon killing squads to quell the riot and murder the rest.

I hate articles about tweets. They quote the tweet and then show you the tweet and then tell you what the Tweet said.

Here’s an axiom you can bank on: The more women who become involved in a profession, company, organization, or political party, the more radical and removed from reality it becomes.

Please, folks, don’t use the New York Times as bird cage liner. Birds are smarter than the average liberal, and they can read better. This could kill them.
