"Proud Jew" Resigns from New York Times

In yet another example of how anti-semitism is growing, we read here about a Jewish women who felt it necessary to resign from the NY Times because her co-employees made it difficult for her to stay.

Popular American-Jewish journalist Bari Weiss, author of the award-winning book How to Fight Anti-Semitism, has resigned from The New York Times, blasting the paper for what appears to be a lack of integrity and for allowing Twitter to “become its ultimate editor.”

According to Weiss, “Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions.

“I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.”


In the resignation letter, Weiss, who in January addressed the “No Hate. No Fear” rally against anti-Semitism at New York City’s Times Square, where she said she was a “proud American,” a “proud New Yorker,” and a “proud Jew,” describes a “bullying” environment at the Times.

“My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m ‘writing about the Jews again,'” the pro-Israel writer says.

“Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly ‘inclusive’ one, while others post ax emojis next to my name,” she continues.

“Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.

“There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I’m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong.”

Yet another example of how freedom of speech is being attacked, bullied and silenced by the Left.

Those of us who disagree better start figuring out HOW we are going to push back against this barrage because if we don't we ARE GOING TO SEE THE COLLAPSE OF FREE SPEECH in this country.

I'm not kidding.

Are we scared to put a Trump sign in our front yard?  How about a sign that says ALL LIVES MATTER?  How about a sign that says BLUE LIVES MATTER?  How about just a sign that says, "Thank you police and law enforcement!  We appreciate you!"  How about an American flag?  How about a sign that says, "We are all a part of one race...the human race."
