New York Times Wanted to Run Tim Scott Op-Ed by Schumer
On a recent episode of her podcast, journalist Bari Weiss informed her guest, Senator Tim Scott (R., S.C.), that during her stint at the New York Times, an editor instructed a colleague to “check with Senator Schumer” before running an op-ed on police reform he had submitted.
“Well, here’s what happened. I was at the New York Times and you or your staff sent in an op-ed about the bill and why it fell apart, and this is the part I’m not sure if you know,” began Weiss. “There was a discussion about the piece and whether or not we should run it. And one colleague, a more senior colleague said to a more junior colleague who was pushing for the piece, ‘Do you think the Republicans really care about minority rights?’”
According to Weiss, when the junior employee replied “I think Tim Scott cares about minority rights,” his superior told him to “check with Senator Schumer before we run it.” The junior employee did not comply with that order, said Weiss, who asked Scott if he was surprised by the story.
“I am disappointed to hear that. I am not surprised to hear that. You have to remember that the Washington Post fact-checked my life,” observed Scott...
A spokesman for the Times responded to a request for comment on Weiss’s allegations by insisting that “New York Times Opinion never seeks outside approval or consultation whether to publish guest opinion essays.”

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Here we see the good vs evil framing that serves as a foundation of the world view of this high status purveyor of social messaging. The race narrative religion and its adherents are an important force for mindless destruction.

I wouldn't expect it to be a codified or acknowledged practice. Of course it isn't. But of course it happens, directly and indirectly. And the smoky room dwelling powers being consulted, ain't your grandma's evil rich white republicans.
