(OP) User ID: 79139877 United States07/14/2020 01:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else. |

They do, which is what makes the illiberal environment especially heartbreaking. I will be, as ever, a dedicated reader of their work. But I can no longer do the work that you brought me here to do..." And he just invalidated his entire argument right there. He still doesn't get it. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78279852 Latvia07/14/2020 03:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | " Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.” Quoting: Cebeij Great stuff. Read the entire resignation letter here.

They know what is coming. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78978101 She knows that the Atnifa/BLM crowd will consider her as much a "white devil" as they do us gentiles. The tiny hats have enjoyed a rather "privileged" (to use the new parlance) perch in society the past 60 years or so, and if she's smart, she can see, that at least among the left, that is coming to an end. Winter is Coming. |
