Apparently The New York Times can no longer afford to expend the time or effort necessary to fact check the depraved blathering of a fascist thug before rushing it onto their op-ed page.
Sad!
New York Times Says Senator’s Op-Ed Did Not Meet Standards
After a staff uproar, The Times says the editing process was “rushed.” Senator Tom Cotton’s “Send In the Troops” essay is now under review.
Honestly, if Dean Baquet is so hard-up for cash that he can't pay some journalism interns to use their common sense and The Google before flinging what little is left of the Gray Lady's credibility into the wood chipper, perhaps he should consider sacking whichever of the Time's many redundant banal white, male, Conservative establishementarian testicle cozies is currently low-man on the career ladder and use the money to hire half a dozen actual editors.
Sure, you'll risk making noted gay Conservative race-science expert Andrew Sullivan very mad --
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.— Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) June 4, 2020
-- and noted cosplay Conservative public intellectual and moral scold David Fucking Brooks very sad --
-- but I'm willing to risk it.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.— David Brooks (@nytdavidbrooks) June 4, 2020
Also I gotta say it is hilarious to watch David Brooks react to this shitshow exactly as you would expect, by immediately leaping to kiss the boss' ass --
A.G. Sulzberger just told the Newsroom that the Cotton oped was "contemptuous."— Sheera Frenkel (@sheeraf) June 5, 2020
"This piece should not have been published."
-- only to discover as he sailed right past it that he had missed the boss' ass by a mile.
Behold, a Tip Jar!

Brooks didn't even find the tone of Cotton's fascist wetdream a little impolite? It made him "think," when it should have made him "scream."
"It causes me to think." Think...David Brooks? Boy, you'd have to prove that one to me.
Yeah, Rushed was Tom Cotton's group republican signing of their traitorous letter to tell Iran not to listen or make agreements with the Negro president because they own and run America.
That they (GOP) would soon place the White House Negro back in the fields to pick their Tom Cotton's crop of cotton.
If you like Putin. If Hitler is one of your favorite historical figure. If you believe Jefferson Davis was treated unfairly by the Northern aggression of liberalism.
The someday, you may be able to own a cotton plantation and own Negros to perform the labor at a reasonable price.
The thing I found most interesting was a comment I read somewhere. It followed the reports that no one from the Times actually read Cotton's op-ed before it was published. The comment was that if no one from the Times read it, then how did the op-ed get fed the op-ed in the first place? Haven't seen any answer to that yet.
The NY Times. Normalizing fascism for 95 years. (Hint, it's good for bankers and Wall Street)
God knows that David Brooks wants to give fascists a seat at the table. That's been the NY Times thing for 95 years. That's why Brooks has his gig. I will always think of the Cotton op ed as planting the flag at the top of the hill by the Times.
What Tom Cotton "writes" causes David Brooks to "think"?
I so much want Brooks sitting across the table from me playing poker. Highest stakes, all in. Hey Brooksie, bring that title for your "vast spaces for entertaining" and your finest fountain pen.
"If you look around the table and you can't tell who the sucker is, it's you."
David Brooks believes in open debate everybody. Sure is news to me. I haven't seen him debate anyone of consequence ever (I'm looking at you Mark Shields). I guess by "open debate" he means cloistered behind a keyboard posting hypocritical, fact free, fantasies and disallowing comments.
Perhaps Brooks notion of equal debate would be,
A debate of the Conservative vs the Liberal ideologies.
In the debate
For the right we have Steve Bannon and newt Gingrich.
For the defense of the left we have hannity and Alex Jones.
Fair and balanced many would say.
And lease, hold your comments or questions until the debate is over and we all have left.
