I don't think either of those things actually happened, as much fun as your version is. IMO, no one particularly was gunning for Bennet, but his position was impossible after he first told people that Cotton's piece was published because people need to be exposed to his views, and then admitted that he never read the piece.

I don't recall anyone at the Times complaining about being triggered. I do know people there thought that Weiss misrepresented what was happening internally in her tweets.

When you think about how establishment the Times is, and what sort of person you need to be to get hired there, your description of the staff there sounds more like right-wing agitprop than anything grounded in reality.

My guess is Charles Blow, who seems sincere but clearly has some mental health issues and several axes to grind, probably controls a faction of strident lefties. He’s activist, and I can’t see him abiding someone like Weiss.
He "controls a faction of strident lefties"? You forgot the Soros part.

But I could be wrong. Perhaps he is an ardent supporter of true free speech.
Once again, in your make-believe world, the only opponents of "true free speech" are crazy lefty activists.

Free speech called. It wants you to stop abusing its name.
