For those asking why does NYT tolerate so much Bret Stephens drama, controversy & shame, the answer is no one knows. But he is tolerated & coddled every step of the way. He tried to silence every criticism against him by colleagues. He'd have the top editors email & warn us.
I tweeted about it last year & called it the special "Bret Stephens Policy." I then received messages from contributors & columnists who said he did same to them. People were on eggshells to not offend him. No one spoke up because they were afraid for their jobs & opportunities.
So of course the man who has a history of racist & offensive comments writes a piece on this NYT Donald McNeil "N word" controversy. His piece gets spiked by Sulzberger, which is an amazing feat considering Bret has always gotten away with publishing nonsense, & what does he do?
Whines about it and complains to everyone in an email.
Bret Stephens, the man who tries to cancel everyone and complains about cancel culture and safe spaces and lectures college kids to stop being soft and...is complaining about being cancelled.
NYT needs a public editor.
