Bari Weiss' Resignation Letter to NY Times

It is with sadness that I write to tell you that I am resigning from The New York Times.

I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: 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. Dean Baquet and others have admitted as much on various occasions. The priority in Opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming.

This is a good read.....really details the pressure to echo chamber on these kids in major media newsrooms

[wardaddy]

Thanks for posting I liked this ....

Being from Tennessee myself, I have no problem with Confederates...

Just pointing out more of the worthless BS from the NYT...

[wardaddy]

I read a lot of the blowback to the Tom Cotton fiasco there

I don’t think Sulzberger has control over his staff too much

I think he has to go with their flow

Does this make sense?

Or he’s got a mutiny in his newsrooms

This is what 95% of J school produces I figure

She’s a centrist Jewish gal

Nice hair and buxom....needs a baby

She’s of course weak on culture war but hawk on Israel

Like Krauthammer ..

[wardaddy]

Me too

We’re one percemters

[wardaddy]

I forgive you

I’m in Franklin about 1000 yards due south of Carnton.

Thank you for trying Ms. Weiss. That was very brave.

[Jim Noble]

I thought it was a good letter.

The true colors of the NYT has been known for a lot more than 3 years

Do you think we can ever win without converts?

[JBW1949]

I’m from Townsend...On the edge of the Smokies...

[blueunicorn6]

Wow!

The Smokies go all the way to Montana!

That’s some chain of mountains!

It’s also entered a new phase. The NYT used to be your usual mix of left-leaning and leftist Democrats with a few token Republicans. Now, like most in the press and media these days, it’s mostly radical revolutionaries who have the guillotine ready for those unwilling to become one with The Borg.

[JBW1949]

I’ve never heard of Canyon Ferry Resevoir.....

[blueunicorn6]

If my wife wasn’t afraid of traveling, I’d come down and see your fair town. It looks very pretty with lots of things to see.

[JBW1949]

Yep...Lots of things to do and see in the National Park...
