New York Times drops a story on DEI dangers for fear of a staff revolt
NY Post ^ | 11/26/24 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 11/26/2024 5:49:07 PM PST by Libloather

We weren’t exactly surprised by the study that found that extreme Diversity, Equity and Inclusion “training” actually increases racism — nor that The New York Times opted against reporting on it.

The Gray Lady, after all, increasingly sees perfectly valid news that upsets its woke staffers as not fit to print.

The latest is the study released Monday by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, which found that “some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment.”

Translation: If you make people read the “racism is everywhere” ravings of Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi, some of them will . . . see racism even where there’s no evidence of it.

Again, not exactly a surprise, but pretty damning given how wildly corporate America and the Biden administration went for DEI training these last few years: Roughly half the US workforce has had to do it.

But the Times (and Bloomberg News) passed on publishing the study’s results: An NCRI insider shared info with National Review showing that reporters for both outlets looked into it, only to be called off by editors.

The Times editor apparently wanted to wait on peer review of the study — even though the paper hasn’t demanded that in publishing stories on past NCRI research.

Gee, DEI brainwashing works? Who knew? The beneficiaries of DEI love it.

The NYPost doesn’t understand. The mission of the NYTimes is to serve as a propaganda outlet for the Left. The notion that the mission of journalists is to report “news” has been openly renounced and sneered at by NYTimes reporters for quite some time.

As Homer would say, “Duh.”

That's not glitch, it's a feature. That is the whole point of the exercise.

Oh no, the horror! An article that’s not printed by a periodical that nobody reads!

DEI IS RACISM.

Maybe people are angered by the increasing number of false accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia etc.
Living or working with hypersensitive and easily triggered snowflakes is extremely tiresome.

The Gray Lady... increasingly sees perfectly valid news that upsets its woke staffers as not fit to print.

She clutches her pearls, falls on her fainting couch, cries like a spoiled little brat, and the paper dies.

The woke blimp is losing helium. The Times will eventually act like they never said anything about it.

Liberal white women LOVE DEI.

If you remind them their children are white, they get super angry all of a sudden.

In the hour and a half podcast interview with Kamala’s top staff released today they admitted the New York Times was the most friendly outlet for their propaganda of all media.

The Slimes just printed as “fact” whatever propaganda the Harris team gave them.

Other outlets—even when not hostile—at least used their own news judgement as to what was worth publishing or putting on the air.

They get especially upset when you point out they are hurting their white sons’ futures. No wonder they are turning away from the leftist politics. They don’t want to vote against their own self interest.

For every leftist ideology butthurt employee who would ‘revolt’ at a story about DEI that has negatives, there are 10 to 100, heck, 1000 or more equally qualified people who would eagerly replace them.

This is like getting punched in the face by a black person for saying that black people are violent.
