truepundit--2020-07-20--Bari Weiss’ resignation letter proves New York Times engaging in ‘outright censorship,’ critic says

New York Times opinion columnist and editor Bari Weiss announced Tuesday she is leaving the paper , issuing a blistering resignation letter that some feel proves the Gray Lady is censoring diversity of thought .
“ What this journalist has done is not just to indict , but to convict The New York Times of outright censorship , ” Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell told Fox News .
“ If it doesn ’ t send shockwaves through the world of journalism , it ’ s because the world of journalism no longer has ethics.
” Weiss published the resignation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sulzberger on her personal website , saying , “ Showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery.
” She wrote she was bullied by colleagues in an “ illiberal environment , ” “ Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences ” and “ intellectual curiosity ” is a liability at the Times , among a variety of other devastating feedback .
Bozell doesn ’ t think the once-proud Times can restore credibility with its current leadership , pointing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as evidence .
“ I thought the most salient observation she made was to declare that it ’ s Twitter that is leading the news today , that reporters are looking at their Twitter feeds and determining what is or isn ’ t news based on that silly contraption , ” Bozell said .
“ Twitter is ablaze with radical leftist propaganda which the New York Times is then taking as news.

Bozell doesn’t think the once-proud Times can restore credibility with its current leadership, pointing to the paper caving to social media backlash as evidence.

In the latest battle between Gov .
Gavin Newsom and houses of worship over coronavirus restrictions , three Northern California churches sued the governor on Wednesday , seeking to overturn his ban on singing during religious services .
The suit , filed on behalf of Calvary Chapel of Ukiah , Calvary Chapel of Fort Bragg and River of Life Church in Oroville , seeks to block Newsom ’ s July 1 ban on singing in houses of worship to stop the spread of coronavirus because of an alleged double standard .

Now some activists are calling for “rest reparations” in the form of sabbaticals and time off from work and other strenuous activities.
The article, titled, “Black Power Naps is Addressing Systemic Racism in Sleep,” reveals the Black Power Naps initiative, which alleges that African Americans typically have shorter life spans when compared to their white peers.
Black Power Naps — created by writers Navild Acosta and Fannie Sosa — insists that black lives are shorter than white lives because blacks experience “generational fatigue” simply on the grounds that they are African American.
