The story of Bari Weiss leaving the times is just shocking, after all she did for them. She discovered people like Monica Lewinsky and Randall Kennedy! But then, management listened more to public opinion than to her!!! And, after she publicly criticized her colleagues and made public what they said in private, and only changed what they said a little when she broadcast it in public (well, a little here and there and a bit more just to make sure it was understood what she thought they meant even if they didn't say it), they had the temerity, the absolute fucking anti-semitic temerity, to criticize her!!!! HOW CAN SHE HAVE FREE SPEECH IF PEOPLE KEEP CRITICIZING HER!!!!!!
Sure, at least according to her resignation letter, no one told her to leave, but it was clear they didn't appropriately value her!!!!! After all, without her, the NY Times would have never heard of Monica Lewinsky!!!!! So she resigned with great visibility, because everyone should always look at what she does (did I mention that she is the one who introduced the NY Times to Monica Fucking Lewinsky!), and will now begrudgingly go sell her book and show up for highly paid sessions where she can talk about her grievances and remind everyone how important she is.
It's all there in her
resignation letter, which she is putting out on the internet because the awful twitter people who tell the NY Times Opinion Page what to do (which was, after all, her job) need to make her trend!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!
