So @JBennet misled re his reasoning for running Cotton's piece. He's thrown @bariweiss--his hire & deputy--under a bus....1/
2/ He either didn't manage his dept., or is forcing a jr. editor to take the heat.
Worst: pitching TO Cotton highlights his click-bait provocateur approach to the page that has so wrecked @nytimes contribution to civic discourse.

Disgraceful.

3/ Given all that, the solution for @nytopinion's predicament doesn't end with running fewer op-eds.

4/ @jbouie is invaluable. @michelleinbklyn, @JenSeniorNY--they are all a big step up from the climate denialism and impossibly thin skin of twitter emigrants like Bret Stephens.
But the page takes its culture from the vision and judgement of its leadership.
@jbennet owns this.
