We’re pretty sure New York Times reporter Maggie Astor is on strike today, as it was her tweet we featured Wednesday night in her plea that people join the “digital picket line” and not visit any New York Times sites Thursday.
Christina Pushaw was given until the end of the day Thursday to provide comment on a hit piece mentioning her written by Astor, who’s supposedly among those who walked out.
Astor is writing a piece on increasing violence and threats of violence against trans people, and wondered if Pushaw had any comment, since she was using one of her tweets as an example of “the type of rhetoric that extremism experts told me can increase the likelihood of violence against trans people.”
This is one of the New York Times activists going “on strike” tomorrow. Do you think anyone will notice? pic.twitter.com/qVMOhCv3Q3

Also, it’s hilarious to me that @MaggieAstor isn’t working tomorrow due to the New York Times strike, but she still gave me a deadline to respond to her tomorrow 😂 pic.twitter.com/SxhT1s25Jg

I'd be interested in seeing that dangerous tweet.

It’s from March, I called the parental rights bill the anti-grooming bill. Didn’t say anything about any specific group of people, so it’s odd that the New York Times would assume “grooming” is specific to a certain group?

The “groomer” tag really stung, and after some spin, libs and the media decided that it was a homophobic slur in order to keep conservatives from using it against them.
"extremism experts" 🤔

“Extremism expert,” yet another made-up professional title used to push for mass censorship.https://t.co/XqKp75blzF

Yep, “experts say….”
C’mon “extremism experts” know all

Seriously. She mentioned Extremism Experts, that is a case closed kind of situation.

“Extremism experts told me”

We’re looking forward to the piece so we can see who the “extremism expert” is the Times chose to consult on the issue.
This is a lot of words saying nothing pic.twitter.com/SVxMR55I82

It’s a lot of words for @MaggieAstor to baselessly accuse me of conspiring to commit a violent crime. We need to reform defamation laws in this country.

Sounds like Maggie's the one equating trans people with groomers to me…

"Experts say" has become meaningless drivel. Everyone understands it means "propagandists we're quoting to push our agenda".

I was looking for average salary of an extremism expert but couldn’t find. Anyone know how much these extremism experts make? I think I can call things extreme for a living too.

Always with the phony, unrevealed, self-certifying “experts”—the most common giveaway that Fake News is about to be committed.

It’s so maddening to hide behind the veil of “experts”

It’s obviously someone from an activist group or a university professor; it’s always one of those two.
