Jill Abramson, former executive editor of the New York Times, had some rather harsh words for her former employer in the aftermath of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s upset win against incumbent and Dem party leader Rep. Joe Crowley: “Kind of pisses me off that @nytimes is still asking Who is Ocasio-Cortez?”

Kind of pisses me off that @nytimes is still asking Who Is Ocasio-Cortez? when it should have covered her campaign. Missing her rise akin to not seeing Trump's win coming in 2016.— Jill Abramson (@JillAbramson) June 27, 2018
LOL. It’s not quite the “failing New York Times,” but we’ll take it!
I mean, it's a Google-search headline. But still, harsh words for the paper's coverage from the former @nytimes executive editor https://t.co/mxSPxGwrYe

Hey, at least the New York Times knew her name:
BREAKING: U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley defeated by young challenger in Democratic primary in New York.

Apparently the New York Times isn’t liberal enough and that’s why the reporters missed it:
Still waiting on the @nytimes to hire a left-wing columnist, even after its weak-sauce explanation why they didn't feel the need to have a Bernie supporter during his campaign. NYT will go as long as it can pretending that the left doesn't exist except when they 'need a scolding' https://t.co/k4xfgzvWVB

Maybe the New York Times should hire The Nation’s Sean McElwee? He called it back in May:
