Seth Mandel shreds the NYT in must-read thread over their meltdown on old embarrassing tweets from journos

The Washington Examiner’s Seth Mandel has a must-read thread on that New York Times article we told you about earlier where they have a meltdown over Trump allies archiving embarrassing tweets from journos.

TL;DR: 1. As this is a common practice in most companies (and colleges, etc.), “Stop inviting twitter trolls to run your HR for you and life will be better for everyone.”

TL;DR: 2. “I guess it’s relatively new for lefty journos to have ppl spending all their time trying to get you fired.”

Sounds less like they’re declaring war on the press and more they realize this is like 87% of what reporters do and they’re getting in on the action https://t.co/e7d6KN2SHC

If you’re a conservative journalist, you have been the target of this behavior by leftist “think tanks”—which are the same ones spoonfeeding reporters their scoops. So what these reporters are calling a “war on the press” is an admission they’ve been waging this war for years.

Most of us have been targeted by the few resources on the right that do this as well, because the right has an obsession with righteous purges. I guess it’s relatively new for lefty journos to have ppl spending all their time trying to get you fired. It’s not fun.

This is gonna be like when, after targeting us for like a year, the alt right harassed Julia Ioffe and suddenly the ADL and other groups were like “wait they’re targeting non-righties? This is unacceptable.”
