    Jeet Heer Retweeted Yascha Mounk

    The Guardian just fired a columnist for making an innocent joke about Israel and is also notoriously antipathetic to trans rights. So I'm not sure what the argument is here.https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1361127585351139331 …

    .@benyt gets to the heart of the matter: Does the New York Times want to turn itself into The Guardian? On the current trajectory, the answer is yes. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/14/business/media/new-york-times-donald-mcneil.html#click=https://t.co/6OBnfrNsDk …

        It seems to be some sort of implication that the guardian is left-wing (?)

        perhaps Mounk is saying they gotta blacklist all conceivably "left" voices first so then nobody's around to complain about racism or the odd sex pesting

        They fired him for being Nathan Fucking Robinson, which is plenty reason enough.

        This conflation of anti-racism with lefty-ism has to stop. One, becauses it just assumes the politicization of Black people’s very equality. (Hi. I’m not a ping pong.) And two, just as there are plenty on the left who are sexist, guess what, folks on the left can be racist, too! pic.twitter.com/rPJxZ0lc4r

        reporters not wanting a colleague to lecture random high schoolers that racism is "over" and needlessly drop hard-r n bombs is not a sign of a wokeness gone too far, or a newsroom ideological battle -- it's common sense if your newsroom is going to credibly cover our nation https://twitter.com/AsteadWesley/status/1361142191477952512 …

        NYTIMES needs to develop a clear standard that's evenly enforced so that employees are on notice as to what is unacceptable. Some of their firings seem over the top. They should consider use of suspensions without pay.
