The NY Times defended both the Clinton assholes. Both of those
criminals should be in jail.
But now the charge that the New York Times is guilty of the very kind of
bias conservatives had been yelling about for years, which was dismissed
out of hand by liberal journalists — a charge that the Times blurs the
line between hard news and opinion and is hostile to conservatives — now
that charge is coming from someone on the inside. And not just any
someone — but a major editor formerly employed by the Times.
In a 17,000 word essay in the British magazine the Economist, James
Bennet, the Opinion editor at the Times who was forced out in 2020
(essentially given a choice to leave on his own or be fired), says that
instead of embracing a variety of views, the Times shuts down views it
doesn’t approve of — views, that is, coming from conservatives. The
Times, Bennet writes, has “fostered a culture of intolerance and
conformity.”
The column — a cover story in the Economist — has received some
coverage, but not a lot. I’m not surprised. Journalists like to look
down everybody else’s throat and examine their shortcomings but don’t
like it when someone — especially someone on the inside — looks down
theirs. Trust me, I know of what I speak.
