CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD:

● Shot: Women’s March organizer to NY Times critic: You’re an apologist for ‘white nationalist patriarchy.’

● Chaser: “in my 1st piece since joining the NYT express team, i wrote about my favorite topic: how white men talk too much.”

It’s rather amusing to see someone from the Times called an apparatchik to “white nationalist patriarchy,” when Pinch Sulzberger was quoted in 1992 as having “told a crowd of people that alienating older white male readers means ‘we’re doing something right.’” The year prior, a former Timesman described the atmosphere in Pinch’s newsroom as “moderate white men should die.” The following decade, then-editor Howell Raines, who was responsible for serial fabulist Jayson Blair joining the paper’s staff, described his preference towards diversity over a quality product in a classic Kinsley-esque gaffe: “This [hiring] campaign has made our staff better and, more importantly, more diverse.”

But then, however far you go, there’s no appeasing social justice warriors – but at least in this instance, they’re devouring themselves.
