Bari Weiss Resignation Letter. The Gray Lady has to be blushing today. Bari Weiss resigning because of workplace harassment and intolerance is intolerable in itself. But, the elitism that resulted in "the lessons that ought to have followed the election—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—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else," seems to still be running rampart at the one place where it should be tempered by rational discourse on both sides of the political aisle. Apolitical myself, except for my passionate belief in free speech issues, I am fearful that the cancel culture, and the orthodoxy of the elite few, have forever poisoned the free thinking, rational reasoning that used to make the New York Times the "paper of record". Shame on you, New York Times. You, of all of us, should know better.
