What ever happened to this motto of theirs?

It had to be a hard blow when the New York Times' deputy Asia editor, Carlos Tejada, unexpectedly dropped dead of a heart attack. He had just turned 49.
After all, for the Times, guys with his skills are pretty hard to find. I didn't know him, but I used to work as an editor at a big newswire in Singapore myself, and I recognized his name as that of a superb reporter and writer, a guy with little bias, lots of foreign knowledge, and a byline worth reading.
According to his New York Times obit, he was also a superb editor, someone who could scruff out stories from the filings of weak reporters. The Times doesn't say so, but since I know about editing in Asia, that likely was editing stories from the filings of non-native speakers of English, as well the filings of U.S.-born freelancers and staff, who might have been good reporters but were wretched writers — people who couldn't write ledes (yes, that's the word used in the industry), organize sentences, or sometimes even spell (I can name names at the Times; I knew editors there). Tejada was the guy who could turn these shambles into publishable stories. In addition, he was an old Asia hand, with experience and know-how around the region, including some knowledge of Mandarin. Guys like that are diamonds to big newspapers with expensive foreign operations. Tejada had been poached from the Wall Street Journal in 2016, which meant that the Times had been watching him for a while as he honed his skills at the Journal before moving in to make him a better offer.
Next thing they knew, Tejada died suddenly, leaving behind a wife and two small kids, on Dec. 17.

Something sounds funny here.
Now, it's possible that the Moderna booster had nothing to do with this. It's possible he had an underlying condition, such as untreated high blood pressure, which triggered an "event." All the same, most people don't drop dead at age 49. But we hear a lot about this around cases of healthy young men, such as athletes, dropping dead of heart issues after their COVID shots. The press hasn't asked many questions about it. The media, including the Times, have busied themselves with promoting the "get vaccinated" line on political grounds as if no other questions need be asked in what may well be an unfolding story. Tejada was the editor who fluffed up the copy of the first COVID stories coming out of China, as Berenson's Substack piece shows. Now Tejada himself may be the latest or last chapter in the question about whether these vaccine solutions to the problem are really safe and whether vaccine mandates are a good idea.
The New York Times has lost someone good from its team following a booster shot, which ought to be prompting the people there to ask some questions at this point. Are these boosters — in Tejada's case, a mismatched booster, given that his original shot was the Johnson & Johnson — a factor in his early death? And apparently, he'd had two of those. The Twitterati, as Berenson notes, have been all over this. We know the readers are asking.
Short answer: no.
The 9/11 terrorists could have burned down the hq, kidnapped and tortured employees of the nyt on live tv, declared it was all in the name of islam and the nyt would still provide cover for them.
Do you have comprehensive knowledge of Tejada’s medical history, his bloodwork results from physicals, and expertise in cross-branded vaccine interactions?
...and fck with their revenue stream?
Mortimer, your brothers not well.
Fck him.
Long gone.
Ask Dean Bacquet.
I’m thinking that some of the recent turmoil we’re starting to see with shifting positions from Slow Joe and the CDC might be the beginning of yet another attempt to demonize Trump.
I’ve had doubts about the vaccines for months - doubts about their safety, doubts about their efficacy and the length of their purported protection. There’s a lot of reporting, especially with the current furor over the omicron variant, that maybe the vaccines weren’t all they were cracked-up to be, since so many double-vaccinated and boosted people seem to be having ‘breakthrough’infections.
How long is it gonna be before somebody kicks off the MSM drumbeat that the vaccines were a scam all along, and Trump knew they wouldn’t work, but lied to us in hopes of being reelected?
So sick of this crap charging almost daily!
They need to print a story about how SAFE these jab shots are (because their former editor assured them it was so).
I’d love to see a cartoon with this motto. We’ve all seen pictures of someone trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Some graphic artist needs to create a photo of someone trying to put a peg, shaped like an eagle, into a hole shaped like a hammer and sickle.
Didn’t they lose another one just a few weeks ago, an editor in his mid 60s?
No….
You have to break a few eggs to make a Communist Utopia.
I don’t think anybody does, but I know that the NYT is in too deep to change its opinion now.
Neither the article nor the poster’s response have anything to do with your knee-jerk response that betrays an unhinged pro-vax bias.
They can’t. It’s forbidden.
If a Marxist implies that outcome is somehow related to actions, they take away their “Get out of Gulag free card.”
He gave his life for the cause, and the greater good. I’m sure he would do it all over again. LOL
Short answer? Hell no
Here’s hoping more go down. It is the only way for them to wake up.
I’m not pro-vax, in fact I might get fired real soon.
