Vox revels in bigotry on Bret Stephens joining the New York Times
Vox gets very nasty on the New York Times hiring Bret Stephens:
Earlier this month, the New York Times hired conservative Bret Stephens, longtime writer for the Wall Street Journal, to join its editorial page.
It really shouldn’t have.
Because:
For one thing, though the paper defends the hire in the name of opinion diversity, Stephens is a very familiar sort of establishment conservative — a cosmopolitan, well-educated, reflexively pro-Israel war hawk…
Whatever could they be driving at?
But if that;s not nasty enough, the article continues:
It takes a particular sort of insularity to hire a pro-war, anti-Trump white guy…
One part of this hatchet job notes: “Getting hired has not stopped Stephens from making lazy arguments.”
Irony be damned.
