Bari Weiss lied about a work meeting and her coworkers objected

[bluedye33139]

She apparently live tweeted a work meeting and was lying about what happened there. Her colleagues called her out on it.

The author of the Harper's letter about how we should all just be quiet and smile when we disagree with people threw someone out of his house over the weekend for pointing out that she had lied. Threw a guest out of his house, for stating that Weiss had lied. Incidentally. Just to see why that Harper's letter was written. And who is behind it.

1. NY Times Opinion Editor Bari Weiss Resigns After 'Constant Bullying by Colleagues'

Bari Weiss resigned from her position as a staff editor and opinion writer for the New York Times Tuesday, citing a “hostile work environment” and blaming the publisher for allowing it. She also decried newsroom practices, writing in her resignation letter that “self-censorship has become the norm.”

Weiss posted a copy of her resignation letter, addressed to Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger, on her personal website.

“I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: The paper’s failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn’t have a firm grasp of the country it covers. Dean Baquet and others have admitted as much on various occasions. The priority in Opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming,” she wrote.

Weiss, whose columns often incited controversy and anger online, indicated the paper failed to learn “lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society.”

5. Most problematic was her claim that all criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism

All.

That's problematic.

[Nancy Waterman]

9. This has bothered me for a long time

She always claimed it was anti-Semitism when it was a legitimate disagreement with Israeli government policy.

4. I envy you! Don't learn about her. Especially now that she's going away

7. Me either. Who cares? The way the op was written is so " in" it makes no sense.

[Mosby]

6. She didn't exactly lie, though

People just don't like her characterization of the events.

That's not the same thing as lying.

8. She's gone.

12. She said that black people's concern regarding safety was wokeness

Her black colleagues were literally saying that they felt physically unsafe while reporting stories, and she called them the woke.

"The woke."

She characterized her black colleagues as being motivated by wokeness when they discussed racism and their fears of being physically attacked.

I'm going to continue to use the word lie here.

11. Bari Weiss is a fucking moron

Bothsiderist extaordinaire.

Good riddance.
