Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bari Weiss tells NYTimes to stick it and resigns

jaguartx: For YOUR information I often open your postings and immediately close them!
I could give a flyingfuck less what some newspaper somewhere prints!
I have been sitting around campfires for going on 73 years now - from Alaska to Texas and most states and provinces in between and I have NEVER had a campfire attendee say to me "you should read this newspaper article" and then NOT give a reason why and/or an opinion or a counter argument!
Ever!
Not once!
You seem to always do that - again I could give a flyingfuck less what some newspaper says - I would 1,000 (one thousand!) times rather hear/see your opinion/argument/experiences.
I admit the electrons that you use up for your ambiguous and insulting, to me, posts are free, but they are also worthless.
Please include an opinion or an argument or a counter - otherwise your posts are absolutely useless to me.
And the new york slimes!
Judas priest man get a grip - WGAF?????
I have NEVER in my 73 years on this earth purchased a medium or large city "newspaper" - ever, not once! I have been made aware that those entities have been lying and distorting for at least 55 years that I know of.
Again I must inquire WTF and WGAF?
I strongly suggest you NOT expose yourself in any way, shape or form to the new york slimes - now that advice is free and worth exactly that, but that advice/policy has served me exceptionally well during all of my lifetime!
Sheesh.

You really should have read it.

Try again.

The dayom thing came up for me to read. It was the third one i tried to post.

Like a pack of wild dogs that run out of food, or blecks in packs that run out of drug deals.

An inevitable clash is in the works. The left is starting to suck muzzy dicks. Where will that leave the joos? Depends if they are part of the rich deep state NWO or expendable, Im guessing.

Or pissed off guys on the CAMPFIRE.

Dear VG, I almost never tell guys why they should read anything I post.

To me, and I assume others, the headline gave enough info for anyone interested in the story to read it.

Im too old and dumb to learn new tricks. My arthur almost prevents me from even doing this well.

Sorry. I hope Rick doesnt cut my pay for losing a reader.

Take care and GOD bless.

Freaking story continues to come up on my Samsung tablet.

Opinion editor and writer Bari Weiss has left the New York Times, publishing a scathing resignation letter on her way out Tuesday that accused the newspaper of allowing “unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge,” among other misdeeds.

The controversial journalist’s exit comes amid a reckoning prompted by the Black Lives Matter movement and after the New York Times’ publication of the inflammatory “Send in the Troops” op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), which called for military mobilization against protesters.

The June piece was widely condemned within and beyond the newspaper and among scores of readers. It sparked what Weiss called a war between "(mostly young) wokes” and "(mostly 40+) liberals” and ultimately led to the departure of Opinion editor James Bennet.

New York Times opinion editor resigns following ‘Send in the Troops’ controversy

June 7, 2020

Weiss, who said she experienced “constant bullying by colleagues” who disagree with her views, was also among the signatories of last week’s divisive Harper’s open letter on cancel culture. She said she experienced bullying online and lamented the New York Times’ inaction on her alleged harassment.

“Some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly ‘inclusive’ one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are,” she wrote in her resignation letter addressed to Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger.

“Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor,” she continued. “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.”

Column: ‘Cancel culture’ is not the problem. The Harper’s letter is

July 9, 2020

In a Tuesday statement, Kathleen Kingsbury, the New York Times’ acting editorial page editor, said that she appreciated Weiss’ contributions to the section and is “personally committed to ensuring that The Times continues to publish voices, experiences and viewpoints from across the political spectrum in the Opinion report.”

“We see every day how impactful and important that approach is, especially through the outsized influence The Times’s opinion journalism has on the national conversation,” Kingsbury said.

New York Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy declined to comment on the specifics of Weiss’ letter, but added: “We’re committed to fostering an environment of honest, searching and empathetic dialogue between colleagues, one where mutual respect is required of all.”


Weiss was hired three years ago under Bennet, who brought in the views of more conservative writers, including Weiss and columnist Bret Stephens. The newspaper and its staff have long been a target for President Trump and his conservative allies; the president regularly describes the profitable, award-winning newspaper as “failing.”

She said she joined the paper with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in the paper of record, such as first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others “who would not naturally think of The Times as their home.” That’s because, she argued, the paper failed to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election, which meant that it didn’t have a firm grasp of the country it covers.” She said her section’s priority “was to help redress that critical shortcoming.”

She was previously the op-ed editor at the Wall Street Journal and an associate book review editor there.

Condensed version of Bari Weiss' statement: The NY Times is radical left and controlled by radical leftists. If you are even one millimeter right of the farthest left, you will be ostracized.

Much more is coming to light. Ms. Weiss was instrumental in getting Ali Watkins hired to the NYT publish the illegal leak from James Wolfe.



This "journalist" is dirty and attempting to cover her ass.

Well, joo dont say.

Ignorance is not a virtue, VG, even in SW Montana.

The reason this is important is that it's a major crack in the NYT's claim to be the paper of record of the United States. I don't think it's the paper of record but a lot of people do, more than live in SW Montana. In short, this is an important blow against the fake news.

This thread might be the only time I've ever agreed with Jaguartx.

Sheesh.

After seeing her interview with Joe Rogan it’s obvious she isn’t too bright. She regurgitated neoliberal talking points and headlines and when challenged she crumbled.

The golems are turning on their creators.

After all the Bari Weisses have done to me & mine, I must admit to no small pleasure watching her (virtual) defenestration. Next time, maybe the golems and pets can arrange to actually run down and eat their former master/mistress. Would make great video.

For sure something they could make money on.
