But don't worry, it's just Twitter which shouldn't be taken too seriously, nothing alarming going on here at all.
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.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostGeez, that is depressing.
Here's Eric's twitter thread about it.

This is two years old, but an interesting counterpoint on Bari Weiss.

That’s what makes this whole spectacle so amazing: The New York Times is allowing one of its columnists to masquerade as a stalwart defender of campus free speech and academic pluralism while utterly ignoring, and allowing her to falsely deny, her own long history in trying to stigmatize and punish professors who criticized Israel, to the point where the NYCLU stepped in and denounced her campaign as a dangerous threat to academic freedom."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Not that it matters much in this context. Either the NYT is infested with a toxic culture of a dominant ideology or it isn't. Hypocrisy is not proof of a claim or a counter-claim, it does lose credibility, so greater corroboration is needed. We shall see what else shakes out I suppose.
