6. Too bad, so sad, NYT. Maybe think about finally getting rid of Dean Baquet.

Around 10 p.m., Times employees put out a public statement through their union excoriating management for its “irresponsible choice” in publishing the column and for “promoting hate.”

Good for them.

7. Thank you for that link to a great read!

I especially loved that hilarious kicker at the end:

Still, even as the conflict raged, there were a few current Times opinion employees who remained proud of their paper’s call for the military to suppress domestic protests.

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.

Good ol' David Brooks - thinks he's so intelligent and high-minded, but he's just another ratbastard hack.

8. Allowing Cotton to vent his evil in that column was inexcusable

I'm glad my dad, Helen Thomas and Scotty Reston never lived to see it. They were journalists of another era entirely.

10. As much as I support the First Amendment/Freedom of the Press,

the editor exists for a reason: to filter misleading and false statements disguised as facts. A newspaper should have information that is reliable.
