Bari Weiss has resigned from The New York Times. When the management of The Times decided it was missing something about a large segment of America after the shock of Hillary’s defeat in 2016, editorial page editor James Bennet brought her in to offer a perspective that was, by Times standards at least, conservative.
Now Bennet’s gone, victim of a rage mob among his staffers who were angry that he published an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., calling for use of the military against rioters — something a majority of Americans agreed with at the time. To The Times mob, however, such a view was so thoroughly beyond the pale that it shouldn’t even be published, never mind that The Times has happily published op-eds by far more extreme figures than a mainstream U.S. senator.
