The New York Times is facing backlash, some of it from the paper's own reporters, after publishing an op-ed in which Sen, Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called on the federal government to send in the military to quell violent uprisings over George Floyd's death.
"NYT reporters in a rare open revolt over the opinion side running Tom Cotton's op-ed calling to deploy the military to 'restore order,'" tweeted Politico's Alex Thompson, who cited posts from writers Taylor Lorenz, Caity Weaver, Sheera Frankel, and Jacey Fortin.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, op-ed writer Roxane Gay attacked the decision to publish Cotton's piece and also argued it put the newspaper's staff in danger.

Is this an emerging trend on the left?It's fully blooming.
This last week reminds me of Mao's Red Guards on the rampage. If anyone objects or says anything sensible, that is not in the Red Book, its criticism, abuse, and worse.
It's in the press, it's in the media, it's in the stores. The new orthodoxy is black thug worship.

or the local grocery ran out of diet Tab.
You are likely a Pepsi drinker, so you may not know that most grocery stores no longer stock Tab, it being almost entirely displaced by Diet Coke and Coke Zero Sugar. Since all Tab is "diet Tab", the term is redundant.
Besides, I think the NYT crowd is more likely to go with Coconut Water, Yerba Mate or Gourmet Iced Coffee these days.
By the way, notwithstanding Wikipedia's article, Pepsi brand Patio is STILL available. I have spotted it in the wild at Bojangle's Chicken in both North Carolina and Georgia ... strawberry flavor. No luck finding Teem, however. That may be completely gone. On second thought, Peggy Noonan is old enough that she might still hunt down Tab, but she writes for the Wall Street Journal.
