A New York Times editor’s contract has been canceled after she tweeted she had “chills” watching Joe Biden’s plane ahead of his inauguration.

“Biden’s plane landing at Joint Field Andrews. I have chills,” Lauren Wolfe, an editor working on the Live section of the New York Times, tweeted on Tuesday.

In a since deleted tweet, she also posted, “The pettiness of the Trump admin for not sending a military plane to bring him to DC as is tradition is mortifying. Childish”

***

According to journalist Yashar Ali, who first reported on her ouster citing two unnamed sources, Wolfe deleted the tweets after she “learned that Biden chose to take his own plane.”

The news set off a Twitter storm of criticism.

“Thanks to Lauren Wolfe for reaffirming the fact that the NYT is a joke,'” tweeted ShaneLock8. “It is not a newspaper but a propaganda rag for the Left. All impartiality is gone.”

The fact that it actually used the word ‘pettiness’ is vomit-provoking projectionism. What’s that on it’s lip, a zit or a soul patch?

Maybe she really did feel chills, or, maybe she was just virtue signaling on the theory it would help her career. Either way, this is stunning. My guess, though, is there is more to the story.

Some time ago an employee at a firm where I worked that has zero classified material plugged his USB phone charger cord into his computer. The company fired him. There were a number of alternatives that the company could have taken; a letter in his file, a temporary suspension, a fine, etc. The fact is, they fired him not for plugging his phone into his computer, but because he had done something that they couldn’t fire him for. Maybe he turned down a sexual advance. Maybe he saw something embarrassing, like a drunk* boss doing stupid stuff. The USB/phone incident was simply an excuse they used to get rid of him. Same here, I’ll bet.

* General advise. Don’t drink with anyone you work with. If you attend a work party and the higher-ups are drinking, leave the instant you detect someone is drunk. That’s because when they do stupid stuff the go-to is to fire the person who witnessed it.

Does that mean she had a proto-DNA postive female response from her nether region?

Yeah well, that watermelon on her lip looks rather angry and is probably making her sick, it certainly did me. Just another maladjusted human being, believing it’s misery is because of Donald Trump.

Journalism is an art. She was a twitter reposter, someone that gave little effort to the job. She needed to be fired

On the other hand, perhaps she was coming down with malaria.

I agree, but your message applies to nearly everyone at CNN, FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, et. seq.

This whole thing sounds eerily familiar...
Did she also imply that the hairs on her legs stood up? We can recall obunghole causing that reaction in a msm member...
