>>> HERE IS TWO FORMER NEW
YORK TIMES EMPLOYEES WHO ARE
NOT TAKING IT. ONE RESIGNS
OVER THE FALLOUT OF THE 2020
OP-ED. HE WAS SHUTTING OUT
CONSERVATIVE VOICES TO KEEP
LOCAL SUBSCRIBERS HAPPY. TOM
COTTON’S OP-ED, "SEND IN THE
TROOPS," CALLING FOR A
MILITARY RESPONSE TO THE
VIOLENT PROTEST ERUPTED
AFTER GEORGE FLOYD’S MURDER.
DAYS AFTER THE OP-ED
PUBLISHED, THE TIMES ATTACHED AND AN EDITOR’S
ATTACHED AND AN EDITOR’S
NOTE, WE HAVE CONCLUDED THAT
THE ESSAY FELL SHORT OF OUR
STANDARDS AND SHOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED. WE
COULD ATTACH THAT NOTE TO PRETTY MUCH 95 OP-EDS OF
PRETTY MUCH 95 OP-EDS OF "THE NEW YORK TIMES." TOM
"THE NEW YORK TIMES." TOM
COTTON SAYS -- HE SALSBERGER
SET ME ON FIRE AND USED IT
AGAINST ME. I FELT WHAT ALL
MY COLLEAGUE TREATING ME
LIKE AN INCOMPETENT
FACETIOUS.
>> WE KNOW THIS IS HOW THE
LEFT ACT. HE SHOULD NOT BE
SO BEWILDERED.
>> THIS REMINDS ME BACK WHEN
I WAS SELLING REAL ESTATE
AND DONALD TRUMP DECIDED TO
RUN FOR PRESIDENT, I
REMEMBER MY CLIENTS, I CAN’T
HAVE HIM WORKING AS OUR
PRESIDENT BUT WE LOVE HIM.
PEOPLE WERE AFRAID OF
LOCALIZING THEIR TRUE
FEELINGS. YOU CAN’T BE IN
THE MIDDLE, EXTREME TO THE
RIGHT OR LEFT AND PEOPLE
DON’T FEEL THEY CAN BE
AUTHENTIC. THIS GOES BACK TO
AND THIS IS WHAT I TELL MY
NEPHEW AND NIECE AND MY SON.
TELL ME WHO YOU FEEL. I AM
NOT GOING TO HOLD IT AGAINST
YOU. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT
THEY CAN BE AUTHENTICALLY
THEMSELVES. THAT’S WHAT THE
HOME IS ABOUT, FEELING FREE
AND FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH
YOURSELVES. NOWADAYS, YOU
HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL OF
WHAT YOU SAY. BARRY WISE
RESIGNS AND HE WANTED TO
PUBLISH AN OP-ED.
HERE IS WHAT BARRY WISE SAID
HAPPENED AT THE TIME AND
THEY DENIED IT. HERE IS
THEIR CLAIM.
>> THERE WAS A DISCUSSION
ABOUT THE PIECE AND WHETHER
OR NOT WE SHOULD RUN IT. ONE
COLLEAGUE, A SENIOR
COLLEAGUE SAID TO A MORE
JUNIOR COLLEAGUE WHO WAS
PUSHING FOR THE PIECE, DO
YOU THINK REPUBLICANS REALLY
CARE ABOUT MINORITY RIGHTS.
>> WOW.
>> THE MORE JUNIOR COLLEAGUE
SAYS I THINK TIM SCOTT CARES
ABOUT THE MINORITY RIGHTS.
THE MORE SENIOR COLLEAGUE
SAID, LET’S CHECK WITH
SENATOR SCHUMER BEFORE WE
RUN IT.
>> HE NEVER RAN IT IN "THE
NEW YORK TIMES."
>> SO ALSO NOT SHOCKING AND
I AGREE WITH KATRINA ON THIS
AND YOU SAID IT TOO,
KAYLEIGH THAT THE WAY
CONSERVATIVES HAVE BEEN
TREATED IN LEGACY MEDIA
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT NEW YORK
TIMES IS, IT DOES NOT SHOCK
ME. IT SHOULD NOT SHOCK
ANYBODY. WHAT IT SHOULD DO
IS POINT TO THE ISSUE THAT
THEY ARE NOT DOING THEIR
JOB. THEIR JOB IS TO MAKE
SURE ANYTHING ON THE RIGHT
SIDE OF SPEECH AND ANYTHING
ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE
SPEECH THAT’S PROTECTED
SPEECH AND NOT HATE SPEECH
IS THE SPEECH THAT WE ALL
SPEAK AND IT IS PROTECTED BY
THE CONSTITUTION.
THESE ARE NOT THREATS. THESE
ARE NOT THINGS OF HATE
SPEECH. THAT SHOULD BE THE
LINE OF DELINEATION FOR WHAT
MAKES IT IN THE THE PAPER OR
COVERAGE.
ANYTHING ELSE IS POLITICAL
OPINION. YEP.
>> LET’S BE CLEAR ABOUT
THAT. THEY’RE NOT BEING PAID
A LITTLE EXTRA CARBON THE
SIDE NOT TO RUN SOMETHING BY
SENATOR TIM SCOTT, IF THEY
ARE, WE GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS.
IT IS MOST LIKELY POLITICAL.
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THAT.
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THAT
FOR THE JOURNALISM WE SAY WE
NEED. IF WE WANT TO REWRITE
IT AND MAKE IT ALL ABOUT
WHAT SOMEBODY THINKS OR DOES
NOT LIKE OR LIKES. WE CAN
START THERE.
>> THEY ARE THAT TYPE OF
JOURNALISM, BOTH OF THESE
THINGS HAPPEN IN 2020, IN
2015, AS WE REFLECT ON THIS
MOMENTOUS RESULTS WHEN TRUMP
WAS ELECTED, WE AIM TO
REDEDICATE OURSELVES TO THE
FUNDAMENTAL MISSION OF THE
"TIMES," THAT’S TO REPORT
AMERICA INTO THE WORLD
WITHOUT FEAR AND REFLECTING
ALL POLITICAL PERSPECTIVES,
EXCEPT TOM COTTON AND TIM
SCOTT AND EXCEPT
REPUBLICANS.
>> TURNS OUT, THEY DID NOT
DEDICATE THEMSELVES
ACTUALLY. I WAS IN
MINNEAPOLIS AT THIS TIME, WE
NEEDED SOME GOOD IDEAS AND
DIFFERENT IDEAS. WE NEEDED
SOME DEBATES ON HOW TO DEAL
WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE
FACT THEY SHUT IT DOWN WAS A
LOST FOR THAT STATE, THE
CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS.
>> THAT’S SO TRUE.
>> NUMBER TWO, LIBERALS IN
THE PAST, THIS IS WHAT YOU
GOT TO REMEMBER. LIBERALS
ACTUALLY DEFENDED THE RIGHT
FOR EVERYBODY. WE COULD HAVE
DEBATES IN THIS COUNTRY.
EVEN IF YOU ARE
CONSERVATIVES AND YOU
DISAGREE, THEY WOULD DEBATE
AND TALK IN PUBLIC WITH
THEIR IDEAS. THEY’RE TRYING
TO GET THE BETTER OF EACH
OTHER. THAT’S WHAT WE SHOULD
BE DOING WITH "THE NEW YORK
TIMES" AND THE BASE OF THIS
COUNTRY. THAT’S WHAT WE
LOST.
>> THEY’RE NOT DOING IT,
EMILY, BENNETT WHO RESIGNS,
THEY THINK THEIR MOTHER
JONES IS ON STEROID.
>> DIGGING INTO THAT
STATEMENT FURTHER, WHAT’S
THE SUBSCRIBERS EXPECT. "THE
NEW YORK TIMES" IS CATERING
TO THEM BECAUSE THEY SAW AN
EXPLOSION OF SUBSCRIPTIONS
IN THE WAKE OF THAT
PROGRESSIVE POLITICAL LEFT.
>> HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS.
>> OH, WE GOT PROBLEMS.
>> I GREW UP IN THE BAY
AREA, DURING A TIME WHERE I
FELT LIKE I BENEFITED FROM
THE LIBERAL-HIPPY EXISTENCE.
ALL SPEECH WERE CELEBRATED.
I DID SEE AND EXPOSED TO
THAT PROGRESSIVE AND EVERY
OPINION IS VALUED AND NOW I
DON’T RECOGNIZE HOME WHEN I
GO BACK BECAUSE IT IS 100%
CENSORED. THE FREE PRESS IS
SUPPOSED TO BE THE ARM OF
THE PEOPLE, RIGHT? HERE IS
AT THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT
SAID ONE SENATOR IS NOT GOOD
ENOUGH TO BE PUBLISHED AND
YET LET’S CALL ANOTHER
SENATOR BEFORE WE PUBLISH
SOMETHING BEFORE HIS
PERMISSION.
>> ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
POLITICAL ISLE, LET’S GET
PERMISSION AND ONE MAY SAY
INCLUSION.
>> THAT’S ALSO MONEY.
>> SCHUMER’S PERMISSION TO
RUN SENATOR SCOTT’S WORDS.
