Charles Blow, Journalism’s Clunkiest DEI Hire, Out At The New York Times
The Federalist ^ | 01/18/2025 | Eddie Scarry

Posted on 01/18/2025 10:42:02 AM PST by Kid Shelleen

When I found out that the New York Times was ending Charles Blow’s regular column, it was like the boot of truth had slammed onto my shoulders with a thunderous clap.

An editor at the paper reportedly sent out an internal memo informing staff Friday morning that Blow’s departure was among the ways the Times opinion section would be reoriented, which means the publication will see a severe decline in mutilated metaphors, juvenile arguments, and the most unoriginal writing to ever hold such a prestigious place in news journalism. I’ll miss it dearly.

He'll be fine. From the article:

On the same day it was announced he would no longer be a columnist for the Times, Harvard named him as its “inaugural fellow” for some new initiative related to the university’s “commitment to nurturing voices that challenge, inspire, and transform our understanding of the African American experience.”

It would be Harvard, wouldn't it?

In 2014, Blow came out publicly as bisexual.

Yet another GlobalHomo

This is a repost from me-an outraged Harvard alumnus!

Harvard has just done itself and the world another disservice, by appointing the massively disgusting New York Times columnist Charles Blow to a prestigious position!

........Author and journalist Charles M. Blow will leave The New York Times and receive the inaugural Langston Hughes fellowship at Harvard, hosted by the W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research.....

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/1/18/charles-blow-leaves-nyt-langston-hughes-fellow/

The well-named Blow is of course a world-class Trump hater! Despite leaving the NYT, he will probably continue to write anti-Trump screeds, and publish them in that dishonored rag!

I didn’t know that he well-named Blow was “bisexual” (i.e., homo)!

Yet another addition to his disgusting persona!

It us up to the head of the Editorial board to go down the list of candidates to come up with a suitable replacement.

Harvard has fifty billion dollars to waste, so why not rescue a like-minded racist idiot.

It is time to take a very hard look at any federal money that goes to Harvard.

We are subsidizing anti-white hate.
