NY Times editorial page editor resigns amid staff fury over Tom Cotton op-ed George Floyd NY Times caves to staff revolt
Fox ^ | 6-7-20 | FN

Posted on 06/07/2020 1:45:03 PM PDT by NoLibZone

The New York Times announced Sunday that Editorial Page Editor James Bennet is resigning -- amid reports of anger inside the company over the publication of an op-ed from Sen. Tom Cotton about the George Floyd unrest last week.

Bennet had apologized late last week after previously defending the piece, titled, "Send in the Troops." Cotton, R-Ark., called for the government to deploy troops to help quell riots and looting that emerged amid the anger over Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody last month.

"The journalism of Times Opinion has never mattered more than in this time of crisis at home and around the world, and I’ve been honored to be part of it," Bennet said in a statement. "I'm so proud of the work my colleagues and I have done to focus attention on injustice and threats to freedom and to enrich debate about the right path forward by bringing new voices and ideas to Times readers."

For his part, Cotton has criticized the Times for distancing itself from the op-ed.

NY Times editing process.

I think the New York Times is sustained by fake digital subscriptions. Soros and other limousine liberals keep them in business. Who could believe their ridiculous crap?

Stop and think about what has happened. Not that we needed any more evidence but this absolutely proves that the newspaper we had all respected up until a decade ago has a staff that has not and will not provide any balanced or truthful news stories unless it fits their agenda and has no intention of allowing diverse opinion on their editorial page. I hope none of you is buying a damn thing from their advertisers.

If the New York Times is so hair triggered, it is all a matter of time when the death blow hits and dumps it in the trash can of history.

It goes WAY BACK with the NY Times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jessel_(actor)

” He often crossed the era’s stereotypical political lines with his support for the Civil Rights movement and criticism of racism and anti-Semitism.[1] His outspokenness regarding his political opinions sometimes caused a scandal.

[9] In 1971, while being interviewed by Edwin Newman on The Today Show on NBC, he repeatedly referred to The New York Times as Pravda (the house organ of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union), and he was ejected from the show.[9]
