[NYPO] Bari Weiss resigns from New York Times, slams Twitter as being their ‘ultimate editor’

So instead of fighting through it she quits? If you feel you are in the right, why not try to work to change that? Why not write about intolerance of ideas at work as an opinion piece? It just seems very strange to resign and then publish a resignation letter with a lot of smoke but no fire.

 

I don't understand why you think she needs to prove anything she said. It was a F.U., I quit letter. She peaced out of there with a finger in the air.

 

On one hand...... if you are a bigot, don't be surprised when people call you a bigot.

On the other hand, there clearly is less room for alternate opinions to be voiced...... everything is either MAGA or WOKE.

I find it hard to believe that there are no longer any moderates........

We also have to stop the constant "outrage" on the left and the "alternate facts" on the right.

No, most Americans are not strict Marxists and there are no "alternate fact"; all of the right wing conspiracy theories are BS and dangerous.

 

How do you know she has received hostile reactions in her workplace?

How do you know she is not overreacting?

What about her doing these same things while trying to get teachers fired while in college.

 

Did we just become best friends?

Reno 911 for the win.

 

I just discovered Trailer Park Boys. It's Reno all over again for me.

 

Have never watched it but there is no way they have that pool of talent.

 

There's a "normal" for every generation though. Take Blackface, it was cringy and wrong when I grew up but nothing like the reaction of what's happening now where even people doing satire are being cancelled. There are some episodes of popular tv shows in the 90s that were gay or trans unfriendly. Silence of the Lambs is a masterpiece but not sure if they can do Buffalo Bill the same way if there ever was a poorly conceived remake.

This was resolved back then by dialogue or bowing to an unspoken hierarchy (while waiting for the elders to die off). Now neither is accepted and I can see how some Cons are thinking the youngins are cutting the line and breaking common sense.

I personally don't see social justice for historically disadvantaged minorities as part of the "cutting the line". I think it should be addressed now. OTOH, my generational perception doesn't really feel like elevating trans awareness as the "must fix" crisis of our time. Other people may feel differently.

 

Ironic.... for reasons you will never understand.

 

Another reason people should know why Bari Weiss is full of **** and is concern trolling about cancel culture is the fact that she was the face of a movent and investigation to try to cancel 2 Columbia proffessors for anti-semtism and the investigation found no grounds to fire them.

Cancel my opponents but how dare you cancel people I like.

 

As opposed to character assassinating everybody at the NY Times which is cool?

 

How is cancel culture addressing anything?

Why are the woke folks automatically right on how to these things?

 

Exactly.

 

I'm not sure how you can take right or wrong from that reply. I think the best people can do is discuss it without pretense to try to understand why the other group feels that way.

There's a sudden impatience that results in cancel culture which undercuts that. I'm thinking it's because everyone and their pets now have a platform to find other like minded people to organize so now minorites of all sizes can collectively demand the most. Which is fair but not really the most reasonable result in a discussion or abstract negotiation.

Ofc it works both ways. Extreme and passive voices on the other side are doing the same thing.

All this ignoring and shunning is not helping much in the long run, it just becomes a power grab by mob majorities.

 

Sorry if I took that wrong, my bad.

We actually agree.

 

She is making a claim that she was called a racist on Twitter as well as demeaned. Where are these tweets? Everyone is getting so upset on her behalf about her being "bullied" but it's a spurious accusation - one that fits into her narrative. The fact that she claims this was going on with Twitter yet there isn't a single tweet she could point to is a bit eyebrow raising, don't you think?

 

You seem quite to take up the cause of Bari Weiss without any evidence of her accusations. Do you hate the NY Times?

 

Now you're just being an attention Jan.
