New York Times opinion writer Bari Weiss got buried by her colleagues for live-tweeting her own take on the newsrooms work dynamic on Thursday afternoon. After the Times published a highly controversial op-ed from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) entitled Send in the Military, Weiss claimed the newsroom has turned into a civil war between the new guard and the old guard.

Eating their own.
And the 40+ liberals thought they would be in charge and command respect...
“The civil war inside The New York Times between the (mostly young) wokes the (mostly 40+) liberals is the same one raging inside other publications and companies across the country. The dynamic is always the same.”
Theres always the laudable intent of the first wave of liberals.
While we may rejoice in the astonishment and horror of that first wave as they discover the diabolical intentions of the second wave (who used the first wave as mere cannon fodder), we must understand that the intention of the second wave was to displace the first and now turn its knives on us.
Commie fight! Will someone end up with an ice axe in the back of his head like when Stalin had Trotsky killed?
Bari Weiss should be cultivated by people who are still willing to stand up for classical liberal values. Does she write for other publications as well? How long she can remain at the NYT will be an interesting question.
Here in Minneapolis I’m seeing the same pattern with the new ‘abolish the police’ movement. The split is more by age than by race from what I can see.
Its the young people who have been indoctrinated by our public schools and universities that are the most in favor of abolishing the police. Older blacks tend to want more police protecting them, not less.
If you think back you'll recall that Osama Obama himself once observed that "the Cambridge police acted stupidly".
Well,Cambridge is not only the home of this nation's elite and influential (when they're not "summering" on Martha's Vineyard) but it's also home to a rather large,and "financially challenged",minority community.
Perhaps the City of Cambridge would want to abolish *their* police department and,in so doing,achieve nirvana.
Let’s see if she gets “purged” from the NYT down the road. Sounds like she just lost the trust of her peers.
Has anyone checked to see if there enough popcorn to sustain us through all of the liberal insanity?
The police are the only thing keeping the “woke” alive.
NY Times is starting to look like Donner pass party.
I'm looking forward to The Night of the Long Knives"
