The people who have made an industry out of destroying ordinary people’s lives over old social media posts and out-of-context comments are very upset that it’s happening to them. The New York Times, clearly worried by the recent exposure of blatantly anti-Semitic tweets posted by one of its reporters, and clearly worried that even more embarrassing material is in reserve, tried to stop the hemorrhaging with a rambling article demonizing the independent journalists who uncovered the tweets.
In fact, much of the liberal media sphere went into panic mode, vehemently declaring that this particular exercise of the First Amendment is actually an attack on the First Amendment. The reason why liberal editors are so distraught that independent conservative journalists are publishing evidence of the racist, anti-Semitic, and otherwise vile sentiments expressed by their supposedly “objective” employees comes down — as it usually does — to power.
Many journalists are in the profession not to inform the public, but to gain the power to destroy people who question them — and they don’t like those tactics being turned against them. “[U]sing journalistic techniques to target journalists and news organizations ... is fundamentally different from the well-established role of the news media in scrutinizing people in positions of power,” the Times wrote in its article — which was of course labeled “news,” not “opinion.”

What goes around, comes around, you dumb-azz communist POSs.
ts. cry me a river.
Dox the NY Times. The people have a right to know!
Once the left opened Pandora’s box, it became open for everyone. Clearly not their intention.
The left is inherently incapable of understanding the concept of the slippery slope.
Alinsky—we read your book!
Hoisted by their own petards.
It ain’t just old social media posts. For Kavanaugh they went back to high school years and quizzed him on 30 years old yearbook entries made by other people! Of course they did much worse than that, but they set the example for everyone else.
Most on the left never realize that they always end up eating their own.
Exposing the NYT’s embrace of Hitler’s Nazism, vile homo perversions and despicable treason will be fun. I can smell the fear.
Doesn’t being “haunted” sort of imply that you have a conscience? Which Leftists do not. I think they are more “irritated” that their slimy tactics are coming back to get them.
Wow! Miss Ohio 2014 !
I’m just here for the Madison Gesiotto pics.
I watch Madison’s videos that she posts on twitter... and no matter how many times I listen I can never remember a word that she says...

If only there was a Major News Network out there that just Reported News and let us Decide, they would be making this a Mission to Let the Truth set you Free.
“The left is inherently incapable of understanding the concept of the slippery slope.”
Being blinded by the pursuit of power will do that to you. LOL
