'Utter gaslighting': Is anybody buying former NY Times editor's pushback on allegations of bias at the paper?

Yesterday we told you about former New York Times writer and opinion editor Bari Weiss resigning from her job at the paper, but not before releasing one heck of a resignation letter. Weiss torched management, accusing them of creating a “journalism” environment that values forwarding particular narratives instead of reporting the news, pushing far-left positions as mainstream thought and having decisions dictated by projecting the level of blowback in the Twitter bubble.

Jill Abramson, a former editor of the Times, defended the paper this way:

Former NYT editor Abramson to Fox’s Harris Faulkner earlier: “The idea that The New York Times is edited by a cabal of left-wing journalists is just not true at all. Most of the opinion columnists at the Times are centrists. They are center to liberal.” https://t.co/7P3VeNNJOM

Suffice to say that not nearly everybody agrees with that.

Thanks. I needed a good laugh.

Media types are providing plenty of chuckles today.

What utter gaslighting. Here’s one example, and it’s happened multiple times. https://t.co/CK0LVEVPwA
