Bari Weiss, a staff editor for The New York Times’ opinion section, announced her resignation Tuesday, citing what she describes as a “self-censorship” culture at the paper and “constant bullying” by colleagues.
The story: Weiss announced that she is leaving The New York Times in a lengthy resignation letter she posted on her website. She alleged that she had been the target of verbal harassment by colleagues who have different views and who have made it explicitly clear that they do not want her working at the paper.
She also suggested that the Times does not dare publish anything that does not align with the left-leaning ideology, over fear of backlash from inside the company or online.

Sounds like she has a good EOEC lawsuit.
Freedom of thought is prohibited by the left.
Helluva good-bye letter.
When a left wing lesbian isn’t Woke enough for you, you’re breaking through to a new dimension of uber-wokedness.
An amazing letter.
Always respected her. Almost never agreed on anything, but she seems like the kind of lefty one could have a conversation with.
Jewish and wrote a book about anti-antisemitism. Definitely NOT woke enough for the NYT.
The NYT, another glittering jewel of colossal failure among the ruins of a once great city.
The New York Times was once truly a great newspaper. It devolved into biased slanted reporting with the passing of its last great editor AM Rosenthal. His son was a disaster as was the managing publisher AG Sulzberger. These two have demonstrated that it is relatively easy to destroy a legacy and a great institution. Bari Weiss was on a fool’s errand when she joined the Times.
The first part of this video is Joe Rogan interviewing Bari Weiss. She comes off as very dumb.

Like when Rush and Camille Pagilla hit it off.
Imagine if you will, a newspaper so woke that a left wing lesbian opinion editor isn’t woke enough...
“does not align with the left-leaning ideology...”
Left LEANING”?? Leaning like the Titanic.
“All this bodes ill, especially for independent-minded young writers and editors paying close attention to what they’ll have to do to advance in their careers. Rule One: Speak your mind at your own peril. Rule Two: Never risk commissioning a story that goes against the narrative. Rule Three: Never believe an editor or publisher who urges you to go against the grain. Eventually, the publisher will cave to the mob, the editor will get fired or reassigned, and you’ll be hung out to dry.”
Those screaming for tolerance the loudest have become as intolerant as the KKK.
Arguably, the calls for "tolerance" were never anything more than getting public permission to have their asinine ideas to see the light of day.
“Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor,” Weiss wrote.

Twitter bots and trolls have become EVERYONE’s editor and deciders of who is fired and cancelled, even though they do NOT represent the majority of society outside of NYC and LA.
Even companies pander to the opinions of the dopes on Twitter.
Why? If they had power then no conservatives would be in office. They had no power in 2016 or even this year, as most our Bernie bots. Who are they getting into office, what company’s profits are skyrocketing or dying because of what Twitter thinks? NONE!
The media keeps using Twitter to push their own narrative on culture and politics. How many news stories blare a headline that someone’s comment or support for POTUS sparks “OUTRAGE” or “BACKLASH” and you read the story and it’s quoting tweats from randoms?
