Very surprisingly, the NY Times broke with its custom and allowed publication of an article on me this time. However, as expected, all of the most critical quotes from me have been omitted, likely after submission (I have kept evidence this time):
nytimes.com/2021/03/26/nyr…

And, of course, there is not one mention of Jeffrey Lieberman’s actual diagnosis of the president and his very blatant violation of the very guidelines I am said to have violated:

Just as we should not call for the resignation of minor sexual offenders while the accused of 26 + 43 assaults is on the loose, should not the greatest violators be held accountable first? This is why I have called for a “uniform application of rules”:
bioethics.net/2018/01/appeal…

How a journalist friend described it: “essentially another effort to let the big boys—Dersh, Lieberman, and Krystal—silence you yet again!”

Quotes the reporter intended to include (but are not found in the published piece):
-- You initially did not speak out publicly, but began doing so after the American Psychiatric Association modified the Goldwater rule prohibiting any comment, not just diagnosis....

... which for you meant denial of access to expertise to the public and therefore facilitation of authoritarianism
-- You support the Goldwater Rule as it originally intended—unethical for a psychiatrist to diagnose a public figure without examination/authorization....

—but now you have doubts about its original intentions, since it was politically-driven, not science- or practice-based, and now it seems to have been politically abused

Any of these would have blown the APA’s cover, and so: are the institutions protecting one another?
