Imagine being so outraged over an opinion piece you had to go on Twitter and complain about it.
it's astonishing that the Times hasn't issued some sort of apology or retraction for @bariweiss's column defending an alt-right event

She finds it astonishing that the NYT won’t apologize for something it didn’t do?
Alrighty then.
This is the column Sarah is referring to:
Smart @bariweiss on campus crybabies shutting down people they disagree with: https://t.co/RAX6YyN60A

The article, BTW, is really really really well done.
From Bari Weiss via The New York Times:
Yet this sharp-tongued Never Trumper was also, according to the Anti-Defamation League, by far the most bullied Jewish journalist of 2016 — quite a distinction when you think about the kind of vitriol that gushed forth this past year on platforms like Twitter. Those attacks came from the alt-right, which called Mr. Shapiro a “Christ killer” and far worse. When his son was born, the trolls called the baby a “newborn cockroach” and suggested that the entire Shapiro family head to the gas chambers.
Maybe Sarah should read up a little on Ben Shapiro and the alt-right movement because if she thinks he’s the alt-right we have a bridge to sell her.
i feel like we're sort of through the looking glass, am not sure how the editorial page can really be redeemed at this point

Triggered journo is triggered.
It’s seriously like these people have Shapiro Derangement Syndrome.
I am concerned that you don't understand what an oped page is.
— Bari Weiss (@bariweiss) September 15, 2017
Boom.
Why should it?
— Joe Nocera (@opinion_joe) September 15, 2017
He’s right, why should it? There is absolutely NOTHING alt-right about Ben Shapiro.

What's NOT astonishing is the fact that you're either a liar or an ignorant moron who spouts off about a speech you didn't even listen to.
— Daniel (@ddwalk34) September 15, 2017
Likely both.
Probably bc .@benshapiro isn't alt right. How about some intellectual honesty… at least get rid of your lazy philosophic understanding.
— Kody Scott (@K0D_4) September 15, 2017
Are you aware that the alt-right doesn't like Jews and Shapiro is an Orthodox Jew? It wasn't alt right.

She’s not aware, clearly.
That or she doesn’t care.
