The New York Times has promised to give staffers “results” after many signed a letter expressing anger over the decision not to fire science and health reporter Donald McNeil, The Washington Post reported.
McNeil, the Times’s top COVID-19 reporter, came under scrutiny after allegations that he “repeatedly made racist and sexist remarks throughout” a school trip that he was chosen to guide, according to a past report from the Daily Beast. NYT’s executive editor Dean Baquet later explained that he was first “outraged and expected to fire” McNeil, but changed his mind after an investigation.
“I authorized an investigation and concluded his remarks were offensive and that he showed extremely poor judgment, but that it did not appear to me that his intentions were hateful or malicious,” Baquet wrote in an email to staffers about the allegations.

The French Revolution continues apace.
Mostly non offensive and not in a hateful or malicious manner!
Cancel culture demands victims.
“...his remarks were offensive and that he showed extremely poor judgment,...”
Ganging up. It’s what tge Left does. Bullies. Narrow-minded and mean. Deal with them now deal with them later deal with them you will. They are implacable.
I’ll bet he said nothing that a single FReeper would find offensive, nor a 100 random blacks, women or even gays.
But when you’re talking about the gaggle of woke NYT reporters, the sky’s the limit in phony outrage.
As Rush Limbaugh says, we are all ONE sentence or even a sinlge word away from the same cancel culture fate.
Yea, whoop whoop! This is great! Like watching dogs fight, or idiots wrestle in the mud. Destroy each other! Ruin everyone’s careers! Eating your own is not a Gourmet luncheon. Ever see Goya’s Painting of Saturn Devouring His Son? This is the grisly spectacle playing out before us. He he.
Paranoid idiots see white supremacists everywhere. They haunt their dreams, if they have them. The only problem is, it will take too long for them to complete their well deserved self reduction. Nothing good ever seems to comes easy.
So, the use of “the N-word” is “wildly offensive and racist”.
No, only when Whites say it.
In what world does this make sense?
It’s either a bad word or it isn’t.
I’m not playing their game anymore.
Donald McNeil, “Hey, I’m one of you!”
What were the “racist and sexist” remarks?
Guessing it doesn’t matter since it wasn’t hateful or malicious. :-)
That would take a whole lot of effort to explain. Probably not anything that a non-super woke person would object to.
The Hitlery defense—”I didn’t mean it!”
