    Jeet Heer Retweeted Craig Silverman

    Not many people are making an issue of this but this is going to be a problem for the Times down the line. Brooks straight-up & demonstrably lied. It's one thing to have an ethical lapse & correct. Another to lie about it -- especially if you are a writer.https://twitter.com/CraigSilverman/status/1368342148509208578 …

    Craig SilvermanVerified account @CraigSilverman
    Washington Post also has a story up about Brooks resigning from his paid gig at Aspen. It makes it very clear that Brooks lied last night on @NewsHour, which I think is important. Given a chance to address our reporting publicly, he lied. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/david-brooks-resigns-from-aspen-institute/2021/03/06/ae67ccfa-7eb1-11eb-a976-c028a4215c78_story.html … pic.twitter.com/MnbGKeXCUs

        But very on-brand for the New York Times. This might be a good use case for the @FTC to take a look at with its Endorsement Guidelines.

        I wish you were right but the Newspaper of Impunity doesn’t correct such mistakes much less properly acknowledge them

        His problem is that this problem can go away for them easily, with one simple step. That is really bad for him.

        Thank you!! It’s almost entertaining to see him try to tackle serious social issues. He can’t shake off his composure-class POV for more than about ten seconds. I love this, from a 2011 New Yorker chat —pic.twitter.com/pxI9P4LYf5

        He such a useful tool they always seem to make an exception for David Brooks for behavior that would get anyone else fired and shunned. For example... #WhenYoureAStarYouCanDoAnything https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1368625246681456640?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/qZODmyBYV3
