    I feel like there's a tension between the Times' free speech stance (they've published innumerable editorials & op eds about "cancel culture") & paper's commitment to elite comity.https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/1512451420691353610 …

        It makes sense when you realize that they are essentially advocating for the same position: freedom from accountability and consequence.

        I think it makes perfect sense. They see elites criticizing another elites as engaging in cancel culture.

        To an outsider, it might seem obvious that "cancel culture" is the key accusation sustaining elite comity. But to an insider who experiences the contradiction subjectively, the problem is rarely apparent at a conscious level...

        What is the tension between wishing your reporters would be more polite and constructive in their online behavior/criticism and being concerned "cancel culture"?

        If you really believe in free speech you shouldn't regulate what your employees say on their own time. But of course, free speech is always subservient to capital.

        There understanding of free speech is one coached in elite comity. You ever here them talking about some blue collar guy losing their job from ‘cancel culture’ it’s always an elite that’s the victim.

        It’s always about some Ivy League student, an op Ed columnist, a celebrity.

        What do you mean? Those two are literally the same thing. "Cancel culture", to them, is when the little people talk back to the elites.

        It's amazing how quick so-called free speech advocates are to claim that criticising other people in certain settings and certain ways should not only be banned but banned on free speech grounds
