Can both sides lose, please!
During the 1917 Russian Revolution there was a struggle between two socialist camps, Lenin’s Bolsheviks and the more moderate Mensheviks. The radical and ruthless Bolsheviks won.
The old, liberal ‘Times’ folks are the Mensheviks. The younger, woke folks are the Bolsheviks. I suspect that the Bolsheviks will win this fight, too.
Doing any sort of actual journalism about the growing concerns about these transgender treatments, is perceived as an attack on transgender rights?
I don’t quite understand the reasoning ability of some of these woke liberals.
Bolsheviks as a smaller group sat back and let the Mensheviks war with each other and then stepped and killed them or simply took over. I see the same similarities in today’s USA life.
Trans issue is alarming to us conservatives - but it is tearing apart many alliances on the liberal side - not just at the NYT
So the “trans” issue is where the liberals draw the line bewtween Cray-cray and just “normal” social justice loonacy? Wow, it took a lot.
One group of liars and perverts fight with another group of liars and perverts.
“During the 1917 Russian Revolution there was a struggle between two socialist camps, Lenin’s Bolsheviks and the more moderate Mensheviks. The radical and ruthless Bolsheviks won.”
Then the Mensheviks emigrated to the United States in the 20’s and brought us Red Diaper babies.
If the NYT goes out of business, both sides lose.
I suggest a scorched earth policy. Set fire to enemies’ floors. Bombs in stairwells, poison the fountains.
Shoot ‘em all and let Gawd sort it out.
FREEDOM!!!!
Hard not to enjoy this internal spat, but the grown ups at the newspaper should be congratulated for not backing down in the face of this tantrum. The fact that they’ve finally decided to take a stand against the hysterical Red Guards may be a sign that the woke tide is finally beginning to recede.

Ah but the “Grown Ups” as they are called, have plenty of time to back down. I always shake my head a people who “take pleasure” at the Left “eating their own”. It usually results in the more extreme elements winning out. It’s a big reason why conservatism has become even more agitated and hostile (because the other side keeps pushing policy/culture far to the Left).
You know what's "pseudoscience"? A person thinking they can become the opposite sex with drugs and a knife.
Still, it's invigorating to be living in revolutionary times. Birthing Persons Unite! Tear the NYT down and salt the earth underneath!
They are fighting over a carcass.
At one time trains ruled the world as far as transportation went but eventually technology left trains behind. Yes they still exist but they are not the same as they were.
Newspapers are in similar state right now. Technology is passing them by and their readers have options. Will the NY Times survive, most likely but it will never be as powerful as it was in the past.
(Side note - I see their survival on switching 100% digital and convincing people to pay for content. Their stories all have the same slant so an AI journalist program could write and edit the stories, no need for actual people to be involved.
Why would anyone, even a lib, pay for the NY Times, when all the news that’s fit to print is blasted all over the airwaves, cable systems and satellite systems and Internet services?....................

When it was strictly a dead tree outfit, having a copy on your coffee table was a status symbol.
But when they go full digital, there’s nothing but an icon on your screen...................
Has anybody tried horse whipping the woke staff?
