Ex-NY Times journalist warns of corporate wokeness in media industry: 'What happens is a kind of internal self-censorship' Former New York Times journalist Bari Weiss confronted CNN’s Brian Stelter about his network’s coverage of the COVID-19 lab leak theory when listing examples of why the world has gone mad

"Where can I start? Well, when you have the chief reporter on the beat of COVID for The NY Times talking about how questioning or pursuing the question of the lab leak is racist, the world has gone mad. When you're not able to say out loud and in public there are differences between men and women, the world has gone mad. When we’re not allowed to acknowledge that rioting is rioting and it is bad and that silence is not violence, but violence is violence, the world has gone mad," Weiss said. When you're not able to say the Hunter Biden laptop is a story worth pursuing, the world has gone mad. When, in the name of progress, young school children, as young as kindergarten, are being separated in public schools because of their race, and that is called progress instead of segregation, the world has gone mad. There are dozens of examples." "People who work at networks, frankly, like the one I'm speaking on right now, to say it was racist to investigate the lab leak theory," Weiss said. "But you and I both know that it would be delusional to claim otherwise that touching your finger to an increasing number of subjects that have been deemed third rail by the mainstream institutions and increasingly by some of the tech companies will lead to reputational damage, perhaps you losing your job, your children sometimes being demonized as well, so what happens is a kind of internal self-censorship."

Circa 1963 were two newspapers in Pecos, Texas.

One was very conservative and the other very liberal. Oddly the liberal one would be considered right wing in today’s environment.

Each one kept their political opinions on the editorial page. Neither tried to hide news based on politics.

Neither attacked each other for their political beliefs. Both reported news fairly. Politics was for the editorial page. News was for the front page. You could believe the news articles in both papers. Neither lied on their editorial page but did slant it politically. That is what the editorial page is supposed to be.

They were examples of what real media should be, and to be commended.

Oh Jesus, grandma, take a Xanax.

I was just pointing you in the direction of some threads since you couldn't find any.

Relax.

She was one of the ones who support the start of it and was fine as long as it was just "those people" getting hurt.

Now the mob has come for her.

I am hard pressed to care.

[KC_Conspirator]

I agree. Weiss was a supporter, then the woke Twitter mob she encouraged and they came for her. She will have to do a lot of soul searching and make up work to have folks care.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep.

I feel the same way when the GOP-e tells me I need to come and rally around the party because one of their fair hair boys stubbed his toe but beat the candidates I support like red headed step children.

I use to do so.

Now?

I am tired.

People whine about how a 51% ally is your friend.

In my opinion, when they have stuck their knife 49% into your back they are 100% the enemy.

Go to hell smart ass. I’m done with you rude idiots.
