That Bret Stephens column that not-so-subtly references Dave Karpf should be retracted. It knowingly slanders Karpf in the Paper of Record, likening a mild Twitter insult to the stuff of Nazis, and all because he got his feelings hurt. Children shouldn’t have @nytimes columns.
This might have been avoided had the @nytimes editors disciplined Bret Stephens as they should have when he went after Karpf’s job. Jonathan Weisman emailed Roxane Gay’s publisher, and they demoted him. Stephens emailed more than the provost, and his bosses did nothing. Now this.
“When powerful people demand civility from those with less power, what they are really saying is that they expect obedience from their lessers.” I’d missed @davekarpf’s Wednesday column in @latimes. He wrote circles around Bret Stephens twice in a week. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
