19. The Times both hired & fired Quinn Norton too quickly. If they had researched her background more, they could've offered her a more appropriate position & wouldn't have been blindsided backlash.

20. Hiring Norton to write about tech under her own byline makes sense (she's good at it & you can separate her dubious opinions from her writing for paper). Having her write anonymous editorials was wrong choice.

As much as Norton was a bad hire (and she was very bad), Bennet deserves to get flamed into ash for this. They either didn't do any research, or they turned chickenshit, proving that the only thing more powerful than white female privilege is white male privilege.

There's little Norton brought to the table for her proposed column that, say, Laurie Penny couldn't have brought to it, other than age, which the Grey Lady isn't exactly suffering from a lack of.
