Daily Mail: Ex-NYTimes writer describes 'crying' and 'bloodthirsty' colleagues in woke meltdown
Sen. Tom Cotton Gets Results!
«Cotton's piece, titled 'Send in the Troops', plunged the outlet into chaos after the Republican argued for the National Guard to respond to the 2020 BLM riots.
McCreesh details the internal backlash in an upcoming book by author Steve Krakauer, noting that it felt like 'a murder' had occurred after the scandal led to the resignation of influential editorial page editor James Bennet. …
Several staffers took to Twitter to slam NYT executives for allowing the publication, including 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones, who said she was 'deeply ashamed'.
[Ex]cerpts of Krakauer's book obtained by Mediaite, McCreesh said Cotton's stance did far more damage than just ousting Bennet from his prestigious position.
He said that the New York Times newsroom became controlled by 'Twitter-brained crazies', as his 'bizarre' former colleagues became 'bloodthirsty' in reaction to the article.
In one instance, a staff meeting to discuss Cotton's Op-Ed piece saw tech writer Charlie Warzel begin openly weeping in front of his colleagues due to the backlash.
He allegedly said 'none of his friends wanted to talk to him anymore because he worked for this horrible evil newspaper that would print this Op-Ed'. …
McCreesh said: 'There was like this giant communal Slack chat for the whole company that became sort of the digital gallows.
'It was just sort of like a bunch of Twitter-brained crazies kind of running wild on Slack. And the leadership was so horrified by what was happening. They just completely lost their nerve.'
He added that the large majority of the staffers that wanted to see 'heads roll' were not those 'actually out covering any of the protests or the riots or the politics', but were instead the tech, audio and arts writers. »

The Grey Lady is, in reality, The Hysterical Marxist Child.
"The paper says their decision to publish the piece led to a 'review' of its editing process, adding that it 'concluded that the essay fell short of our standards and should not have been published.'"
TRANSLATION: "Cotton's Essay was not vetted through the paper's political oversight before publication, which triggered a religious upheaval among core staff. The paper will redouble its dedication to launder every phrase, every word, every letter through its established hard-Left spin cycle in order to regain credibility among its low-IQ,, fully-indoctrinated and highly cloistered readership."
The NYT has had zero credibility as a legitimate, trustworthy news source for decades...or more...among thoughtful readers and can only redeem itself through a thorough housecleaning and a fully public address of its numerous failures in the most basic elements of journalistic integrity.
Until this happens, it will continue to dwindle in readership into the realm of a worldwide laughingstock.
Sadly, I see no effort by the NYT to even acknowledge these issues much less address them.
Thank you Ann for follow up on the US health care system, and the continuation of being-held hostage—fentanyl and drug trafficking, the psychological seize of a pre-pubescent child, elder care. Disclaimer: Personal-held-belief is the pre-teen gender re affirmation movement is a form of child abuse. In addition, many countries do not have the race and race baiting problem the US continues to endure. Must be adept, astute and able to read between the lines. Thank you again.
