One other question for Joe Kahn: you feel the desperate need to showcase views that challenge the rights of women to bodily autonomy, criticize “woke-ism”, ask for religious tolerance for public discrimination against gay people, as promoting “both sides” of the issues. 1/

@nytimes

But I do seriously want to know, where the threshold is for the @nytimes. Where would a view be so abhorrent that you might even admit that both-sides-ing is impossible? 2/

And I am not challenging the right of anyone to say terrible things in the public square. But when and where does it become bad for business to offer page space to certain views? Or does it never? 3/

@nytimes

So it’s interesting how some people are rushing to defend the @nytimes against criticism of trans and non-binary Americans. 1/

It is getting framed as the “woke mob” against a true liberalism and free speech. 2/

There is no attempt to engage with the criticism by a wide variety of people and institutions that have criticized the paper. 3/

We’ve heard from ⁦@_Eric_Reinhart⁩ this week on the grinding down of American healthcare workers by a system, hell-bent on extracting profit above all else in America. 1/ nytimes.com/2023/02/05/opi…

@donberwick

And the great @donberwick adds his insights in this piece in @JAMA_current calling this elevation of profit an existential threat to American medicine. 2/ jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

@suhas_gondi

Now @suhas_gondi @sanjaykishore31 and @JMichaelMcW pin the tail on the donkey. If hospital boards are overwhelming run by those in finance, it makes sense that service takes a back-seat to profit. 3/ link.springer.com/article/10.100…

So, reporters don't write the headlines, but why does the phrase "big government" never get scrutinized as if "less is more" (always) in terms of federal spending unmoored from discussions about the values the underlie our choices. 1/ nytimes.com/2023/02/08/us/…

@jimtankersley

I'm not criticizing @jimtankersley but just curious about why what is frankly a pejorative term (i.e. big government) gets bandied about so much without any context. It's as if limited government in and of itself is some platonic ideal. 2/

@nytimes

In fact, we are told by the @nytimes that political reporting is, well, apolitical: "Our reputation for independence rests upon the public’s faith that we can carry out our work free from influence and overt bias." 3/ nytimes.com/article/new-yo…

@michelleinbklyn

Goodness me. ⁦@michelleinbklyn⁩ is right on the nose here! Just to add: the show thus far paints a picture of public health only Ron DeSantis could love. 1/ nytimes.com/2023/02/03/opi…

The first “public health” response to the zombie-demic gives a clue:: helicopters, guns and the army who are out to kill you. Some of the overheated rhetoric on the #COVID response veers close to this idea: public health as the threat. 2/

And where does the fungus among us come from in the show? The largest Muslim majority country in the world: Indonesia. I mean really couldn’t it have been France, or England? Nah. Wouldn’t fit with the idea of public health threats as from “over there’ & about “other” people. 3/

@nytimes

#PamelaPaul spends precious column space celebrating academic freedom from woke mobs on campuses BUT SAYS NOT ONE WORD about threats from the right. From DeSantis, other governors, Turning Point, Campus Reform. She is a right wing troll with the imprimatur of the @nytimes . 1/

@nytopinion

The editors at @nytopinion think they are promoting ideological diversity, but they are being played. Here we have a redefinition of free speech and speech here is for me not for thee. 3/

@CollegeBoard

They love the frisson of doing this in the week the @CollegeBoard eviscerated the AP African American Studies curriculum. So edgy we are at 620 8th Av. We can rub the noses of black Americans & others who care about diversity in education in stink of Paul’s execrable piece. 4/
