"In a nearly 1,500-word letter addressed to A. G. Sulzberger, the publisher, Ms. Weiss offered a deep critique of Times employees and company leadership..."

"... describing a 'hostile work environment' where co-workers had insulted her or called for her removal on Twitter and in the interoffice communications app Slack. 'I do not understand how you have allowed this kind of behavior to go on inside your company in full view of the paper’s entire staff and the public,' she wrote. Mr. Sulzberger declined to comment.... Ms. Weiss, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has been known to question aspects of social justice movements that have taken root in recent years. She was critical of a woman who described an uncomfortable encounter with the comedian Aziz Ansari and questioned whether the sexual assault charges leveled against Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh should disqualify him from the post....  Ms. Weiss recently came under fire for online comments on the staff unrest that followed the publication of a Times Op-Ed piece by Senator Tom Cotton calling for a military response to civic unrest in American cities during the widespread protests against racism and police violence.... In her resignation letter, which was posted on her personal website Tuesday, Ms. Weiss said 'intellectual curiosity' was 'now a liability at The Times.' She added: 'Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor.'"

From "Bari Weiss Resigns From New York Times Opinion Post/In a letter posted online Tuesday, she cites 'bullying by colleagues' and an 'illiberal environment'" (NYT).

From Weiss's letter:
Part of me wishes I could say that my experience was unique. But the truth is that intellectual curiosity—let alone risk-taking—is now a liability at The Times. Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world? And so self-censorship has become the norm.

What rules that remain at The Times are applied with extreme selectivity. If a person’s ideology is in keeping with the new orthodoxy, they and their work remain unscrutinized. Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome. Online venom is excused so long as it is directed at the proper targets.
Strangely, Andrew Sullivan announced his withdrawal from New York Magazine today too, though we don't have a long explanation from him yet, just a few tweets. Are the two of them — Weiss and Sullivan — working on some new project together?

The final straw for me was when they apologized for factually reporting on Biden corruption in Ukraine and China because it served to help Trump. Not only apologized, but stopped the reporter from further covering the story. BTW, Jon Solomon got separated from The Hill at about the same time for reporting that has never been discredited factually, just politically. Whatever they do, they must not report any facts that go to show that impeachment was a cover up for widespread DNC corruption in foreign policy, corruption which no doubt attracted Hillary to the job of SoS, for which no IG was ever appointed by Obama for some reason. I guess why do you need an IG when the utterly trustworthy Hillary is in charge? Those hundreds of millions she took from the Russians and others were clear as day above board!

As far as Sully goes, he drank the Kool Aide, joined the mob, and he should have seen this coming way before the stink got this bad.

As I said in a previous thread, she still does that old Althouse "I don't understand" shtick, and finds it so so sad that the NYT is doing what it's doing--they should be better! it's wrong! they're not living up to Ochs!

She's also a little behind the Althouse commentators, since we've been onto the "new orthodoxy" for years now, but at least she can now report from inside the bubble.

But the bubble is immune.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I agree with her and with the signers of that letter. Maybe this is part of a significant push back against the madness, or maybe this is her last scream before the wave pushes her under for good.....She's not all that old. I wonder if she's out of touch or if it's the young people on the Times staff who are the ones who are out of it. Whatever she is, she's definitely not Trotsky. Probably someone more like Zinoviev. She'll go under without causing much of a ripple in the surrounding waters....DeBlasio is the mayor of her hometown. The next mayor will probably be to the left of him. Those assholes in the Times newsroom might actually be on the winning side. Maybe next year, if Biden wins, she'll be writing a profuse apology and beg forgiveness from her former colleagues.

doctrev म्हणाले...

... but as Bari Weiss cracks up, and Jimmy Dore dunks on her for abject stupidity as demonstrated on Joe Rogan, don't you dare say the left is anything but united. We've purged certain elites from the Republican Party, and now they're frantically trying to hold onto their control of the Democrats. The difference between 2016 and now is that Trump rode the wave into office, and helped it along. While Joe Biden is frantically trying to be "down with the yoof" despite being a senile racist dinosaur, and his neoliberal allies are losing power and prestige.

This thing is over, you guys.

Temujin म्हणाले...

Are the two of them — Weiss and Sullivan — working on some new project together?

No. They just could not any longer ignore the stench that is todays media. It is a diseased, dead body walking around as if it's still alive. The media/entertainment/academia complex is doomed. They are at the beginning of their own end. But they are not going to go out quickly or quietly. They will rack up as much damage as they can along the way. Then we will clean them all out and start fresh.

The 'paper of record' has not been so in decades. Today it is the newspaper version of CNN. And that, my friends, is about as low a standard as you can have.

They are both conservates who didn't fit in, from my liberal perspective.

As the nation is about to make a sweeping Left turn after the lies, incompetence, and corruption of this lying conman reality-show administration, maybe they feel it a good time to take a break from mainstream media.

Looked at the NYT article on Bari's resignation, and surprised to find they allowed comments. 9 of the top 10 upvoted comments are supportive of Bari and decry, to one degree or another, cancel culture and the NYT caving to the mob. This is the second article in the NYT in the last few days with surprisingly moderate to conservative comments upvoted to the top of the stack. Not what I was expecting from NYT readers.

tds म्हणाले...

I have formed my impression of Bari Weiss through a Joe Rogan podcast where she was a guest. Never read, seen anything from her before that.

This was not a flattering image. She made radical claims, then after JR gave her a slight push-back, it became obvious she didn't even bother to check whether the claims were true. She was just repeating something she heard. Weird for a journalist, or maybe not nowadays.

Of course claims were around Trump, Republicans, can recall right now.

Generally not impressed, either positively, or maybe even at all.

Her resignation letter, however, was nicely written.

One of the first comments on the Times's piece about BW's resignation: Another example of how the right can dish it out, but can’t take it.

No, I was informed gently, no medical progress would ever be made and it was important to go continue on as if it weren’t happening because all of the stats were BS and the sooner we got to herd immunity the better!

Now that fatality rates are dropping, as I predicted they would, you guys are waving that fact around like a bloody shirt as if to prove that you were right all along to oppose the lockdowns in the first place. Sorry, I just can’t get sucked into that shit. I don’t care who wins, to be honest.

An employer knowingly allows his employees to bully and denigrate and call a “dirty jew” and a “Nazi” openly, and the compassionate “liberal” response here from registered Democrats is “why the martyr complex?” So you also have lost your humanity and it’s not just jour-no-listers afflicted with hate for their fellow Americans.

I think this is all about how she can get the most $ out of NYT. Before the Pandemic, she might have gone the traditional route, stick around, wait to be fired, and then bring a lawsuit. But now, with the Courts being closed, who knows when she'd see any settlement $.... It's easier, and faster, to put them on notice with this letter, with no details, and try to get $ on the threat that she'll go further and actually name names. Despite layoffs, NYT has deep pockets and I think they'd want to pay her off at this juncture, rather than let her keep going.
