Sadly, I fear TFP wants to become part of the MSP. No controversial topics of lately, ladies who lunch festival in LA, the very mainstream political coverage (couldn’t tell which mainstream rag it sounded most like), perhaps I don’t know who Bari as a journalist/pol/influencer really is, and was influenced by her ouster from TNWT. Maybe we would like to hear about the anonymous many who also got cancelled.

Nelly, Bari wasn’t ousted by the New York Times, but their treatment of her, after she wrote a “fair & balanced” article, forced her to resign! How DARE a democrat Lesbian go against the WOKE Left narrative! It’s ugly watching them “eat their own”

Having said all that about Bari, it’s true she’s Left leaning, sometimes disturbingly so, without apology here at TFP. But thankfully she has provided a platform where the Middle Majority, both Left & Right of Center, can gather without fear of being cancelled if we disagree with her, or each other.

What I’ve found is TFP gives me some hope the pendulum may be swinging from Far Left back toward Center.

The pendulum has been swinging, but way to the right. The Republican Party as we knew it is dead, and is now the MAGA Party, with Repubs scared shitless of offending the Trump Cult of Personality and being canceled or worse. The fiasco with Kevin McCarthy this week, led by a creepy sex trafficker of underage girls, shows today's GOP has become a national embarrassment.

Actually she resigned from The Times (assuming that TNWT should be TNYT); her resignation letter is most ikely out there somewhere, and that drew me as well. Disappointment ensued but I've made my peace by embracing the occasional busted clock moment and the largely sane commentariat. An unusually free-for-all, that.

Strangely enough, she never provided an example of "censorship"....only that some people thought here takes were stupid. Which they usually are.

Yeah there’s no evidence that the psychopathic barbarian perverts who got their boss fired because he published a piece by a Harvard-educated veteran and US Senator, about how stopping communist revolutionary rioters is fairly important, because this op-ed was a “violent attack on our bodies”……….there’s no evidence that those unhinged despicable parasite sacks of shit ever caused censorship to happen.

Yep. Correct. No evidence. Zero. None provided by her in any outlet.

Although, she claimed she was struggling with "self-censorship." Which to Bari and her moronic sycophants is the exact same thing as "censorship."

You cannot provide one single shred of evidence, KevinDurant.

Just like you couldn't for your claim that "Planned Parenthood offices are castrating children."

While there is way beyond overwhelming evidence of censorship, what you are doing is referring to evidence as ‘not evidence’, which is not exactly a sophisticated ploy.

The infinitesimally small fraction of evidence that you would be willing to call evidence is a private email or text from Nicole Hannah Jones, for example.

So all you’re really saying is that we don’t currently have possession of Nicole Hannah Jones’s cell phone. We also don’t have a video of OJ killing his wife.

So, Nikole Hannah-Jones emailed/texted the NYT editors and told them to censor/spike one of Bari's stories? That's your claim now?

The fact that black people were in what would become "America" in 1619 is emotionally distressing. I understand.

Fascinating take. How "thought provoking." Did Bari make this claim that Hannah Nikole Jones texted the editors and told them to censor/spike her op-eds as well?

Where can I find this information you claim exists?

What is the overwhelming evidence provided by Weiss that her op-eds were censored/spiked?

I'll wait....
