Nothing stings like criticism from an insider.
Bari Weiss, a New York Times op-ed editor whose sin was not being a lockstep left-winger, has delivered a scathing indictment of the paper’s out-of-control liberal culture--in the form of a resignation letter.
Her open letter to Publisher A.G. Sulzberger might sound overheated coming from an outside critic. But Weiss, a controversial writer hired from the Wall Street Journal opinion section, says some colleagues have privately complained to her of a “new McCarthyism” at the Times.
Weiss says she’s beenBARI WEISS QUITS NEW YORK TIMES AFTER 'BULLYING' BY COLLEAGUES OVER VIEWS“the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m ‘writing about the Jews again.’ Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, 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.”
This is obviously the next chapter after the liberal newsroom revolt that led to the ouster of James Bennet, the paper’s editorial page editor, for publishing an online piece by Republican Sen. Tom Cotton calling for the military to quell riots as a last resort.
The piece was quickly disavowed after the internal protests. Weiss had been critical of that episode as well.

Weiss, the author of a book on anti-Semitism, describes herself as a centrist
The Times’ acting editorial page editor, Kathleen Kingsbury, thanks Weiss for her service and said the paper will continue to publish “voices, experiences and viewpoints from across the political spectrum.”
Weiss describes a double standard--she calls it “self-censorship”--in which sufficiently woke pieces sail through with little scrutiny: “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 her letter to Sulzberger was personal, chiding him and other executives for allowing the bullying cultyre--she says ax emojis were posted next to her name on an internal channel--while privately praising her for her courage.
But here’s why this is not an opportunity for Times critics, especially on the right, to bash the paper. “Twitter,” writes Weiss, “is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor.” Those words could apply to any media outlet more fearful of an online backlash than standing up for principle.
And liberals should join conservatives in standing up for free expression, at least those who still believe that more than one ideological view should be allowed in the media marketplace.

'Rocks the media world'?
Rock-a-bye Dukkha, on the tree top.
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall -
Down will come Dukkha, bullshit and all!

Speaking of Bari Weiss
Following the Tree of Life synagogue massacre in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, Weiss was a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher in early November 2018. She said of American Jews who support President Donald Trump: "I hope this week that American Jews have woken up to the price of that bargain: They have traded policies that they like for the values that have sustained the Jewish people—and frankly, this country—forever: Welcoming the stranger; dignity for all human beings; equality under the law; respect for dissent; love of truth".[41]
Cancel culture queen quits, complaining about cancel culture? Fuck this stupid idiot.
You know what's "real" cancel culture? MSM refusing to have real leftists on. I wonder why?
Noam Chomsky isn't on MSM. Richard Wolff. How about Ben Burgis. Why does Al Sharpton have a show, but Cornell West doesn't?
That's real cancel culture, not the fake culture war bullshit the right wing complains about. DECADES of silencing the left and the second Goya is threatened with a boycott the shit bag right wingers lurch into action, buying products from a man they would screech at to go back to his own country if they saw him at a trump rally with the wrong color hat on.

GOYA Foods: Donations, Charities and Support
FreedomFirst Entertainment
Sat Jul 11
"GOYA Foods has an impressive list of charitable contributions. The USA based business is the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the country. In the wake of the CEO's simple and supportive comments about President Trump, many have taken to social media to demand boycotting and closing the company.
In the United States of America, our First Amendment is supposed to protect our right to speak freely and openly. However free speech is still often on the assault by the collective intolerance of the American Left. This is evident as the wildly successful and philanthropic Hispanic GOYA CEO Robert Unanue is ridiculed, disrespected and attempted to be cancelled for his calm support of President Trump, America and Christianity.
As the Liberal mob is trying to socially sink the company, Conservatives are stepping up to show support for those who are wiling to speak proudly for America. Below are some examples of how GOYA gives back to the country and the world. This is what the Left is trying to cancel through both intolerance based censorship and their general assaults on business and entrepreneurship.
