Discussion:
James Bennet / @jbennet: Times Opinion owes it to our readers to show them counter-arguments, particularly those made by people in a position to set policy.
James Bennet / @jbennet: I want to explain why we published the piece today by Senator Tom Cotton. https://www.nytimes.com/...
James Bennet / @jbennet: We understand that many readers find Senator Cotton's argument painful, even dangerous. We believe that is one reason it requires public scrutiny and debate.
Elahe Izadi / Washington Post: New York Times staffers denounce newspaper for Tom Cotton editorial urging military incursion into U.S. cities
Sewell Chan / @sewellchan: THREAD: As a former @nytimes Op-Ed editor I am reluctant to weigh in on my alma mater. But the decision to publish @SenTomCotton calling for troop deployments to quell unrest falls short of sound journalistic practice. https://twitter.com/...
Olivia Nuzzi / @olivianuzzi: The best way to shut down a bad opinion is not to suppress it but to share a better opinion.
David Brooks / @nytdavidbrooks: I believe in democracy. I believe in a free press. I believe in open debate. I love it when my newspaper prints pieces I disagree with. It causes me to think.
Andrew Sullivan / @sullydish: It's important to understand that what the mob is now doing to the NYT is what they did to Evergreen University. They hate liberal institutions and they want them dismantled from within. These people are not liberal and they are a disgrace to journalism.
Davey Alba / @daveyalba: Our own newspaper has reported that this is misinformation https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Sam Dorman / Fox News: NY Times writers in ‘open revolt’ after publication of Cotton op-ed, claim black staff ‘in danger’
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: The emerging divide in journalism is not between “let all relevant arguments be heard” and “don't publish opinions we find repulsive.” It's between those who ask, “is this something we should be amplifying?” and those who don't see the importance of putting the question that way.
Ross A. Lincoln / The Wrap: NY Times Guild Condemns Paper's Decision to Publish Op-Ed Urging the U.S. Military to Crush Protests
Christopher Ingraham / @_cingraham: NYT reports that some sources will no longer be providing them with information as a result of the Cotton op-ed. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Jeffrey Goldberg / The Atlantic: James Mattis Denounces President Trump, Describes Him as a Threat to the Constitution
Rat King / @mikeisaac: just to be crystal clear: Running this puts Black @nytimes staff in danger. https://twitter.com/...
Victoria Leandra / @leandrareports: Black journalists at The New York Times are calling out the company for publishing this Op-Ed. “Running this puts Black @nytimes staff in danger.” https://twitter.com/...
Olivia Nuzzi / @olivianuzzi: In most cases, the beauty of a free and diverse press is that, if you disagree with something that's been published, you can publish a rebuttal. Or you can mock the author of the piece. Or you can just fucking ignore it.
Tom Cotton / @sentomcotton: The nation must restore order. The military stands ready. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Lindsay Crouse / @lindsaycrouse: My entire feed: “Running this puts Black @nytimes staff in danger.” https://twitter.com/...
Zach Carter / @zachdcarter: This is the most openly authoritarian piece of writing I've read from an American politician who has been in power during my lifetime. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@sivavaid: Just so everyone understands, @nytimes staff are forbidden from disparaging the reputation of the organization. So every staff member expressing disgust with Cotton and @JBennet (and therefore standing for truthful and intelligent journalism) is risking her or his job.
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: my colleagues said it more eloquently: Running this puts Black @NYTimes staff in danger. I stand by my colleagues in solidarity. https://twitter.com/...
Bruce Haring / Deadline: New York Times Staffers Denounce Tom Cotton Op-Ed, Paper Publishes Blistering Letter …
Anousha Sakoui / Los Angeles Times: New York Times writers condemn decision to run senator's op-ed calling for military mobilization
Kara Swisher / @karaswisher: I am just about to pub a new @nytopinion column calling out Facebook for putting people in danger by allowing Donald Trump to run wild on the platform. I would be remiss if I did not second what Charlie said below. This puts black @nytimes staff in danger and I stand by them. https://twitter.com/...
J. Clara Chan / The Wrap: New York Times Staff Protest Tom Cotton Op-Ed on Social Media
Margaret Sullivan / @sulliview: I would not have published that piece, for a multitude of reasons. About fifth on the list is that ridiculous line about ‘radical chic’ https://twitter.com/...
Wesley / @wesleylowery: there are so many black people who I love and care about who work at the NYT, and they deserve so much better than to have their own employer endangering not only their lives but the lives of their friends and families and millions of other Americans
Hong Kong Hermit / @hongkonghermit: US senator Tom Cotton is calling for a massacre of American protestors, on the anniversary of Tiananman, and this clown at the NYT is *publishing* the death threat. https://twitter.com/...
Hend Amry / @libyaliberty: There is a difference between an opinion you disagree with and an elected official's unethical propaganda to justify horrific government actions. It might cause you to think but it causes others to die. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Thompson / @alxthomp: Feels like this might become a thing. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Thompson / @alxthomp: Pretty remarkable amount of public pushback. Internal frustration from the news side toward the opinion side has been building for years though as @ashleyfeinberg reported in 2018 https://www.huffpost.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Alex Thompson / @alxthomp: a sorta weird detail in the nyt write up about this since sources threaten to stop talking all the time. The report doesn't go further than this. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@karlbode: some writers politely criticized their employer for amplifying fascism https://twitter.com/...
B-Boy Bouiebaisse / @jbouie: i figure that's worth mentioning if we are going to start accusing people of being a “disgrace to journalism”
B-Boy Bouiebaisse / @jbouie: journalists criticizing the editorial decisions of their employer is a coup now? what about the marketplace of ideas? https://twitter.com/...
B-Boy Bouiebaisse / @jbouie: this is a guy who spent 20+ years defending his decision to air a “debate” about whether black people were actually dumber than whites. https://twitter.com/...
Ida Bae Wells / @nhannahjones: I'll probably get in trouble for this, but to not say something would be immoral. As a black woman, as a journalist, as an American, I am deeply ashamed that we ran this. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@chillmage: It is absurd to suggest that any private company, whether Facebook or The New York Times, is somehow undermining the enterprise of free speech by not giving the sitting president and members of Congress unlimited carriage. They have federally funded avenues for public speech
@chillmage: In the past week I have seen an astonishing number of colleagues in my industry simultaneously misunderstand the First Amendment, the role of editing, and the institutional power of state officials, who already unilaterally have the means to publish. https://twitter.com/...
Rich Lowry / @richlowry: Destroying property—not so bad Running an op-Ed calling for law-and-order—an intolerable outrage https://twitter.com/...
@kevinkfyam: This piece was published on June 3 2020 2:52 pm ET, ie June 4 2020 2:52 am Beijing time. At that moment 31 years ago, the People's Liberation Army was on a murderous rampage in Beijing. Both the topic and timing of this piece are insults to the fallen in #TiananmenMassacre. https://twitter.com/...
Richard Brody / @tnyfrontrow: Nothing but contempt for @nytimes serving as a mouthpiece for tyranny. Some ideas are moral enormities, outside the bounds of reason, even if spewed by an elected official; big difference between reporting on the fact that someone says it and giving that person a platform.
Keith Richburg / @keithrichburg: Xi Jinping could not have timed it better... https://twitter.com/...
Amanda Hess / @amandahess: Cotton's op-ed “undermines the journalistic work of our members, puts our Black staff members in danger, promotes hate, and is likely to encourage further violence” - our union https://twitter.com/...
Hunter Walker / @hunterw: Sources! You should definitely be mad at the Times about this! So very mad! And the ultimate expression of your righteous anger is sending all of your tips to hunterwalker@protonmail.com! https://twitter.com/...
Austin Ramzy / @austinramzy: What an awful thing to see here in Hong Kong, where people are fighting to keep the right to memorialize those killed 31 years ago today when Beijing did just that—send in the troops https://twitter.com/...
@thewrap: NY Times Union Criticizes Paper's Decision to Publish Op-Ed That Called for the U.S. Military to Crush Protests https://www.thewrap.com/...
Breck Dumas / TheBlaze: NYT employees accuse paper of putting ‘black staff in danger’ by running GOP senator's op-ed
Wesley / @wesleylowery: Journalists who've spent a week outraged at indiscriminate police violence (especially employed against them!) now somehow can't understand how an op-ed explicitly calling for an *even more aggressive response from the state* amounts to a call for an escalation of state violence
Dan Nguyen / @dancow: He deleted the tweets and isn't giving an explanation, so I'll call this out as one of the most laughably thin-skinned things I've ever seen from a big media person. Someone wants to protest the NYT for being pro-fascist and your first reaction is “BUT PLEASE NOT MY PODCAST”? https://twitter.com/...
B-Boy Bouiebaisse / @jbouie: There are many disgusting things about that Cotton piece but one of the things that's stuck in my craw is his use of federal intervention for school desegregation as a precedent for deploying the military against protesters.
B-Boy Bouiebaisse / @jbouie: The piece is irresponsible and should have never been published. If Cotton wants to call for military force against Americans (and lay the groundwork for his inevitable presidential campaign), he has plenty of platforms from which to do it as a US senator.
Tressie McMillan Cottom / @tressiemcphd: @jbouie @Cato_of_Utica I swear they do that on purpose to just demoralize us.
Richard Lorant / @richard_lorant: @jbouie The federal troops were enforcing a Supreme Court decision states were ignoring. Tom Cotton knows that and everyone knows that he knows that. But this type of performative intellectual dishonesty is at the core of what it means to be a “smart” Trump conservative.
Amanda Mull / @amandamull: This argument is an abdication of responsibility when Mark Zuckerberg makes it about Facebook, no one should accept it from the New York Times. https://twitter.com/...
Jody Avirgan / @jodyavirgan: One thing you learn by actually reading the Cotton op-ed is that he's not just advocating for troops to restore peace, but explicitly for “an overwhelming show of force.”
B-Boy Bouiebaisse / @jbouie: Suffices to say that the piece does not reflect my values. I am not going to share the link and you shouldn't either. Read this instead. https://www.nytimes.com/...
B-Boy Bouiebaisse / @jbouie: In a functioning country, Tom Cotton calling for a de facto military occupation of the states and the use of lethal violence against American citizens would get him expelled from office and banished from public life.
Sarah Jeong / @sarahjeong: Hypothetically speaking, I do not wish to see an op-ed titled “The Only Good Cop is a Dead Cop,” nor am I remotely interested in engaging in debate with its author, even if their views would provide a fuller and more varied perspective on current public opinion.
Sarah Jeong / @sarahjeong: I do not think this preference of mine somehow makes me outrageously narrow-minded.
Nick Baumann / @nickbaumann: One fun fact about Tom Cotton is that he got his start in politics in part because, as a twentysomething Army lieutenant in Iraq, he wrote an open letter calling for the prosecution + imprisonment of three @nytimes journalists: https://www.motherjones.com/ ...
Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy: Hey Olivia, until literally every person on the planet has the ability to run whatever tf they want in NYT's opinion pages, this point is crap. https://twitter.com/...
Molly Priddy / @mollypriddy: fascism isn't “a bad opinion” https://twitter.com/...
Greg Olear / @gregolear: Cotton is on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He knows exactly what Trump is. He's trying to normalize Fascism, and you gave him a platform. You allowed him to exploit the paper of record. You published Fascist propaganda...& now you're trying to defend being a collaborator. https://twitter.com/...
Brad Simpson / @crashbpm: @jonathanchait @mattyglesias I know twitter makes us all glib, but this isn't a serious engagement with the arguments of people who are upset. Maybe you fundamentally don't understand the reactions? Or that you can't imagine the position they are speaking from?
Jonathan Chait / @jonathanchait: Just to make sure I understand: pro-Trump op-eds in the liberal media: Dangerous, awful, will kill people anti-Trump op-eds in the liberal media: overhyped, unimportant, help rehabilitate bad guys
Matthew Yglesias / @mattyglesias: @jonathanchait I think the consistent leftist theory of op-eds is that all op-eds should be written by leftists. And while I don't agree with that, I do agree that more op-eds should say things I agree with.
Soledad O'Brien / @soledadobrien: It's not “open debate” when the comments are disabled. This is pathetic and dangerous and disgusting. https://twitter.com/...
Steadman&trade / @asteadwesley: Supporting my colleagues, and particularly the black ones. if electeds want to make provocative arguments let them withstand the questions and context of a news story, not unvarnished and unchecked https://twitter.com/...
Chuck Tryon / @chutry: @nytdavidbrooks Having a sitting Senator endorse military violence against American citizens “makes you think?” What he's doing is precisely the opposite of endorsing democracy or debate.
Taffy Brodesser-Akner / @taffyakner: Finally: Running this puts Black people, including Black @nytimes staff, in danger. https://twitter.com/...
@pwnallthethings: “The government should deploy the military in response to protests” can't be up for peaceful debate, because by definition its very proposition is anti peaceful-debate. That's the point.
Jack Nicas / @jacknicas: While I work in the newsroom, not for the opinion pages, I support those pages running opinions from across the political spectrum. But that doesn't extend to calls for the military to quash mostly peaceful protests against racism.
Sewell Chan / @sewellchan: So why run this op-ed? It's true that since its inception in 1970, the page has run controversial and provocative perspectives—I know, because I edited many of them, by Republican and conservative writers, from 2011-15. (Hey @BobbyJindal!)
@petersterne: If you think it's bullshit when Mark Zuckerberg tries to disclaim responsibility this way, you should recognize that it's also bullshit when James Bennet tries it.
Dan Pfeiffer / @danpfeiffer: As far as I know there is no law that prevents the NYT from saying “we messed up and we will try to do better next time.” But in their mind, no quarter can be given. Every deed, no matter how indefensible must be defended, which is a trait that reminds me of someone. https://twitter.com/...
Southpaw / @nycsouthpaw: So... unless the NYT brass change their minds about it, Cotton's “Send in the troops” op-ed is going to run in print on the Tiananmen anniversary.
Adam Sternbergh / @sternbergh: I would like to publish the opinion of this sitting US senator. https://twitter.com/...
Dan Nguyen / @dancow: @JBennet Thanks for the reply. I have a follow up question: if one of your subordinates published an op-ed making fun of your brother, how hard do you think you'd throw a paperweight at them? https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Dan Nguyen / @dancow: @Sulliview 6. “We should send in the troops”, as declared by the one man who has the authority to send in the troops, was the Times A1 story just YESTERDAY. Sen. Cotton's stance is not new nor marginalized, it's the status quo https://twitter.com/...
Mike Masnick / @mmasnick: The NY Times has every *right* to publish this, but it shouldn't have. This “both sides” nonsense is messed up. When you're the paper of record giving the “this is why we should turn US soldiers on Americans” air, you're not just a part of the problem: you *are* the problem. https://twitter.com/...
Dell Cameron Blm / @dellcam: @JBennet You should be fired.
Margaret Sullivan / @sulliview: 1. Black people already feel under siege & in danger 2. There are *limits* to what's acceptable discourse for this peerlessly influential & defining space. This is outside the limits, IMO. 3. US is a tinderbox now 4. He can get his views out (and rev his 2024 campaign) elsewhere.
Chuck Wendig / @chuckwendig: The problem is, James, airing a dangerous argument like that in public lends it legitimacy. They say sunlight is the best disinfectant, but I'd also argue to put out a fire, you smother it under a blanket and rob it of oxygen. https://twitter.com/...
Lyz Lenz / @lyzl: @Olivianuzzi @jazzedloon Love you, Olivia, but Jazmine is right. The op-ed is a call to violence based on debunked myths. It doesn't need a platform. Also he's already a senator, he has a platform. Publishing this puts so many black people at risk it's not a game.
Sewell Chan / @sewellchan: One final point: Today is the 31st anniversary of the start of the #TiananmenSquareMassacre, when Chinese troops, citing “rioting,” killed thousands of peaceful protesters. Is that the message we want to be sending? /END https://www.latimes.com/...
Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy: @Olivianuzzi OLIVIA, WE DON'T ALL HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF ACCESS TO NYT's OPINION PAGES
Mc Nelly Torres / @watchdogdiva: @JBennet Dude. I get it. You got a job and want to keep it but you got no argument. Admit it.
Erin Biba / @erinbiba: @JBennet When editors at the NYTimes wonder why the public has lost faith in the honor and integrity of journalism, they should look at themselves, because they are responsible.
Jessica Valenti / @jessicavalenti: Would the NYT run an “actually rape is necessary” piece if it came from a senator? https://twitter.com/...
Quentin Hardy / @qhardy: @JBennet Nah, it's the way it's tedious and incoherent. He calls for military action across the country, says the cops have lost it, far beyond what your reporters say. His precedent is short, specific cases, not national actions. Little he says is new from him. You pandered.
Olivia Nuzzi / @olivianuzzi: I don't think it's controversial to believe that reporters should always be on the side of putting more information into the public sphere about how public officials think. This is true also when the public officials in question think dumb fucking thoughts.
Casey Parks / @caseyparks: Heartbreaking that black journalists are having to worry about getting in trouble in order to speak up for their own safety. https://twitter.com/...
Will Stancil / @whstancil: @JBennet Would the Times publish an op-ed from Xi Jinping explaining the necessity of imprisoning and re-educating the Uighurs? It seems to meet the standards laid out here. What about an op-ed from Putin explaining why Russian stability required the assassination of journalists?
Mollie / @mzhemingway: The most terrifying thing in recent days hasn't even been the mobs, but “leaders” bowing down to mobs. You don't need to explain why you're running an op-ed from a duly elected U.S. Senator making his case about a majority-supported opinion. https://twitter.com/...
Soledad O'Brien / @soledadobrien: Um—you realize when you publish dangerous arguments you give the writer both a platform, and the credibility of the @nytimes. Whew. This is a sad thread. https://twitter.com/...
Misha Collins / @mishacollins: James, taking this Op-Ed down & apologizing would be the right decision. This is not a “counter-argument,” as you say, it's a dangerous propaganda piece pedaling lies & escalating at a dangerous moment. The @nytimes, should cover @TomCottonAR's words in an analytical news piece. https://twitter.com/...
Roxane Gay / @rgay: @JBennet Fascism is not a counterargument. There are not 2 sides to racism. This will embolden militarized police forces and endanger black people. This is not something that requires debates. Military troops should not occupy American cities to quell protests.
@thewrap: The staff members each tweeted, “Running this puts Black @nytimes staff in danger” along with a screenshot of the op-ed https://www.thewrap.com/...
Anne Ward / @annecw: @JBennet Amplifying dangerous arguments about using the military to wage war on American soil against Americans.
Sara A. Carter / @saracarterdc: LOL so what - didn't the NYT run an opinion piece from the Taliban - a known enemy of the US that has murdered our troops. These journalists are elitist snowflakes that need safe spaces and make excuses for real criminals https://twitter.com/...
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: i need to be clearer (i wasnt and i should have been and many have asked): i do not agree with publishing it (obviously these are not decisions a writer like myself is consulted on) & amplifying a dangerous view that could be used to justify escalations against peaceful protests
Carrie Brown / @brizzyc: @MikeIsaac @nytimes And it's editors, it's reporters, it's engineers, it's designers, it's people from across multiple departments and beats, I even saw a couple of interns. Bless you all. It's time for all journalists to take a stand. Having a bias against racism is a bias we all need to have.
@bridgetmarie: @JBennet Resign and advocate for a Black woman to take your place. It's the only honorable path forward for you, mate.
Taffy Brodesser-Akner / @taffyakner: I love working at the Times and most days of the week I'm very proud to be part of its mission. But tonight, I understand the people who treat me like I work at a tobacco company. I stand with my colleagues.
Aaron Mat / @aaronjmate: “Times Opinion owes it to our readers to show them counter-arguments*” *counter-arguments generally void for: -black leftists -principled, not procedural, criticism of US foreign policy -Israel-Palestine -Russiagate skepticism -Bernie Sanders supporters https://twitter.com/...
Erin Biba / @erinbiba: @JBennet Aiding and abetting the rise of fascism has *absolutely no excuse.* It is the job of journalism to speak truth to power, not to aid it. Your constitutional protection exists to shield you from holding those in power responsible for their atrocities. You are doing the opposite.
@mattdpearce: @JBennet There is no idea so dangerous that it can't be examined responsibly by your very capable newsroom, and I stand with the Black @nytimes staff who disagree with you.
Karen Attiah / @karenattiah: Started the day excited about peaceful protesters doing amazing dances to lift the spirits — Ended the day with the New York Times publishing a piece from a sitting senator calling for military violence to crush U.S. civilians
Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy: @JBennet His op-ed contains information that the Times' own reporting has proven false. Why is he not held to the same standards as freelance opinion writers who *aren't* senators?
Rep. Paul Gosar / @repgosar: The New York Times published an op-ed from the Taliban in February... https://twitter.com/...
Patricia Sauthoff / @gitagovinda: The former NYT Public Editor is still the NYT Public Editor. https://twitter.com/...
Karen Attiah / @karenattiah: But @JBennet said he literally wanted to invite public scrutiny and debate. So...what happened..? How were these publishing decisions made? https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Lindsey Boylan / @lindseyboylan: Remember his name. When there is a version of truth and reconciliation- @SenTomCotton should appear and be charged. https://twitter.com/...
Cody Johnston / @drmistercody: A better piece to encourage public scrutiny would have been about how a U.S. Senator tried to get a fascist's wet dream published, and why that's bad. https://twitter.com/...
B-Boy Bouiebaisse / @jbouie: @Olivianuzzi Let's say Stephen Miller called for forcibly sterilizing every Hispanic immigrant in the country. Should the Times run that op-ed?
Brooks Barnes / @brooksbarnesnyt: 👇🏻👇🏻 It is OpEd's job to publish a wide array of opinions, even ones that make us boil in disagreement. But there is no other side to this one. It's fascist garbage and should have been rejected. https://twitter.com/...
Roxane Gay / @rgay: @JBennet And your black writers and editors shouldn't have to put themselves in the risky position of explaining this very basic thing.
Sewell Chan / @sewellchan: It calls for “an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers” but offers no evidence that existing law enforcement efforts—by National Guard troops, county sheriffs, city police departments—is failing.
Ashley Feinberg / @ashleyfeinberg: @JBennet i've got an argument i bet you'll find painful and dangerous, legally you must allow me to publish it in your pages
Qasim Rashid / @qasimrashid: Tl:Dr of NYT's justification to publish Cotton's ridiculous OpEd arguing US Military should bomb & kill American civilians “Both sides.” NEWSFLASH: THERE IS NO “BOTH SIDES” TO GOVT MURDERING CIVILIANS. Smh https://twitter.com/...
Charles P. Pierce / @charlesppierce: @Olivianuzzi In my experience, this nostrum needs serious updating.
Will Stancil / @whstancil: @JBennet Where does this principle end? Would the Times publish an op-ed explaining the policy rationale for genocide?
Tom Gara / @tomgara: The really good meta troll would be for an NYT reporter to ask Twitter if they're going to flag Tom Cotton's tweet linking to his NYT column
Sewell Chan / @sewellchan: #TruthMatters, and I will always read @nytimes. But the richest, largest and most powerful newspaper in America needs to exercise discretion and prudence in the use of its platform. This fell far short.
Mehdi Hasan / @mehdirhasan: 48 hours ago, this ex-soldier senator from the governing party called for the killing of rioters - ‘no quarter’! - and now he is rewarded with an op-ed in the nation's premier paper. Again, what would you say if you saw this in another country? https://twitter.com/...
Sewell Chan / @sewellchan: But the Cotton piece isn't original, or even timely. it might have been 2 days ago, but Pentagon, @EsperDoD and Mattis have been clearly pushing back. The governors haven't asked for military deployments—in fact, several told Trump it would make things much worse.
Mikel Jollett / @mikel_jollett: No, it is your job to decide which arguments even belong in the public square. You can't simultaneously understand yourselves as the “paper of record” and publish pieces of extremist propaganda next to pieces about, say, tax policy. When you print this, YOU NORMALIZE FASCISM. https://twitter.com/...
Katie Mack / @astrokatie: I'm not a journalism expert or anything but I'm pretty sure that if the “other side” is blatant fascism it's okay to present just the one side
Juliette Kayyem / @juliettekayyem: @Olivianuzzi I agree with you on much except your wardrobe choices for me. Suppression is loaded; it is done by government's, not op-ed pages. So, I have to ask: would you find any “opinion” not suitable to be shared by an ed page (as compared to Cotton tweeting it which I'm all for)?
Hamza Shaban / @hshaban: ...the NYT choosing to run that op-ed just as employees and civil rights leaders are criticizing Facebook and Zuckerberg for failing to understand the power of a media platform and as Snapchat acknowledges that platforms are interrelated and amplification is an editorial decision
Margaret Sullivan / @sulliview: And if you insist on running it, undoubtedly in the name of ideological diversity, no matter how dangerous or misguided, at least allow reader comments on it. I'd like to read those.
@riotwomennn: @JBennet Denny Hastert liked to rape young boys but I bet if he had put those ideas in an article, you'd have the damned common sense to refuse to publish You've “both-sided” the country into a dangerous situation with a corrupt lunatic enabled by boot-licking pervs like Cotton
Jennifer Rubin / @jrubinblogger: @JBennet This is nonsense. You could have had a hard hitting interview and fact checked him.
Julia Carrie Wong / @juliacarriew: Huge solidarity with NYT staff and freelancers speaking out against the opinion page's disgraceful publication of a senator's call to deploy troops against a Black protest movement. You are the best of journalism, and you deserve better than this.
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: The direct relevance of the author's experience gives this thread enormous weight. https://twitter.com/...
@sivavaid: @Olivianuzzi Or you can demand that the professional publications you pay for hold their writers to basic standards of truthfulness and decency. You can demand that they support the very democracy that makes them possible. Cranks are welcome to start a blog.
@petersterne: People often accuse Facebook of acting acting like a traditional publication and making editorial choices.
