NYT Guild files formal grievance against the paper, saying mgt is targeting MENA journalists during inquiry into leaks about an investigative report on Hamas's Oct 7 attacks.

The NYT has denied doing this.

Mark Robinson has just won the Republican nomination for Governor of North Carolina.

Robinson is a Black Trump supporter who says not only are Black people not owed any reparations, but in fact WE OWE reparations to white people as thanks for bringing us here as slaves.

It's incredibly funny that Elon Musk, who pretends not to be a conservative, deleted his post endorsing the challenger to Austin DA Jose Garza after Garza won handily, while Bari Weiss, who pretends to be a journalist, has not deleted her factually incorrect post attacking Garza

Antisemitic flyers recently distributed in Hood County, Texas are associated with the Goyim Defense League, a neo-Nazi group with several north Texas members who I recently identified. Hood County is adjacent to Parker County, which is now home to a white nationalist active club.

The Taylor Lorenz/Chaya Raichik interview is a perfect example of an actual, skilled journalist absolutely owning a partisan huckster, with grace and patience.

This doesn’t happen enough in our industry.

We should do more of it.

And film it.

I sometimes joke “it’s another good day not to be the New York Times public editor” but the organization could *really* use one right now to investigate on behalf of the readers

Many Black Californians are skeptical of reparations. Advocates call this the ''hope gap,' the chasm among Black voters who support reparations but believe they are politically unfeasible,' writes Emmanuel Felton in The Washington Post. washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/01…
