“the paper of record”

That’s part of the problem right there.

“The paper’s failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn’t have a firm grasp of the country it covers.”

Strangulation is the only “firm grasp” NYT wants to have on America.

There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I’m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong.

I’m hoping this is a warning shot from her saying they should expect a lawsuit in the coming days.

I heard Rush reading from it a short while ago.

I remember reading some articles shortly after the 2016 election on this very subject, in which some media members said, to paraphrase, that they don’t get out enough(into the rest of the country), that they get stuck in the New York/Washington axis, and just didn’t comprehend what people were thinking as they went to vote.

It doesn’t help that the vast majority of media applauded at Hillary’s shrieking about the “basket of deplorables”. To them, that statement made perfect sense. They had no clue that tens of millions of people were deeply offended by Hillary’s statement.

This could be a description of what happened under Soviet and Maoist rule, as well as the insanity of the Ministry of "Truth" in Orwell's 1984 and the reign of the hogs in Animal Farm. Why not just relabel the masthead as Pravda and get it over with?

Having worked in NYC I can tell you it isn't just the New York Times and it's readers who are ignorant of the rest of the country. The average New Yorker at virtually every level thinks the world ends past 10th. Avenue.

Once you understand that the LEFT does not care if America becomes a pile of rubble as long as they are in control, everything the LEFT does makes sense.

For these young writers and editors, there is one consolation. As places like The Times and other once-great journalistic institutions betray their standards and lose sight of their principles, Americans still hunger for news that is accurate, opinions that are vital, and debate that is sincere

The slimes will not take this advice, and will just pooh-pooh this writer as a bitter failure.

I personally haven't read the NY Times since I had a suite {for about 4 years} in the Sofitel Hotel at 57th and 7th back in the 90s.

Great years for the business I was in at the time.

I had to know what was going on in the city, since I was selling to the financial industry at that time.

Everything except the subway was over priced {but it was all expenses for my company, so I really didn't get excited over it}.

This writer has learned a tough lesson, will it really change her world view?

That remains to be seen, but her resignation is a good step.

One funny thing about this is that she's right -- she isn't a legal expert. "Hostile environment" claims aren't met just because you work in a...hostile environment. It has to be "hostility" based on a protected classification such as race, gender, religion, etc. such that it amounts to discrimination based on your membership in a protected class. She's claiming she was discriminated against because of her political/social views. And that isn't legally actionable.

Everything else she said is on point. But if she's expecting to win some kind of discrimination lawsuit, she appears to be out of luck.

Yeah, I remember those articles too. Seemed very earnest to understand what they got so wrong. Seems like they are no longer interested.

Exactly. The message reads, “NYT, break out your checkbook.”

Evidently, Bari believed the lies they told her when she was hired. Now she knows better. At least she is honest about the atmosphere at the Times and the mental tyranny that passes for journalism.
