You lost me with this one. Tom Cottons screed, aside from being authoritarian was also full of misinformation. The NYT editor was fired not because of the twitter mob, but because he solicited the op-ed, did not read it, them defended it while lying about this.

He was a shitty editor who also hired BrettBugs, and, irony of ironies, assisted Brettbugs in using the authority of the NYT to settle a twitter beef he had with a minor academic, while fabricating an accusation antisemetism (the academic was also Jewish). Pot meet kettle.

He should have been fired for that failure to do his job. This was a pattern - one of ill-thought out “controversialism” without appropriate editorial oversight, and greatest sin of all, not even reading the pieces before publication, let alone fact checking.

I agree 100%. She lost me on this one too. The damage he did to @nytopinion over his tenure was incalculable. The Tom Cotton op-ed was just the last straw. He sucked at his job.
