Are we seeing a new heightened version of #METOO, just in a version of "race wars"? Is the second reiteration of Black Lives Matter #BLM going to take on the worst of Me Too? Will this just be people accusing each other of the worst behavior possible to get the people they dislike fired to take their positions or get someone they like better in that position???
Here who is out this week, because people didn't like the job they did, were doing, or who they were as a person:
New York Times Opinion Editor James Bennet "resigned" over fall-out due to Tom Cotton op-ed
Variety EIC Claudia Eller, who had only been there for a few months, took a "leave of absence" after a former employee lashed out at her on Twitter for not being promotional of other races enough as a boss (in response to a column she wrote about the importance of diversity); she called the former staffer "bitter." The staff revolted in the office and she apologized, but still took a "leave of absence."
EIc of Philadelphia Inquirer resigned after a headline appeared in the paper that said "Buildings Matter, Too"
This was 1 week, folks. Button-up to have our media being controlled by a bunch of kids who protest on Twitter a lot till they get what they want.
That's why we need to support people like that girl who is suing the Daily Beast and refused to quit after her employees lied about her for being a registered Republican!!!
This is the time where conservatives need to open their own businesses and outlets. Let them eat eachother.
Running a business with honesty and integrity, and keeping politics out of business (as it should be) will draw people from all sides, will be refreshing and take business away from these giant corporations. Let these 'woke' companies crumble.
BillboDickens agreed, just need to figure out a way to encourage that more. We say "companies with no politics." They hear "REPUBLICAN REPUBLICAN REPUBLICAN." or "SUPPRESING FREE SPEECH!"
Ah yes, I meant to put Bon App in there and forgot! For the "Puerto Rican" costume picture from 10 years ago that was posted 7 years ago. And The Cut editor-at-large got fired from her position for posting that she was "scared" of him in his costume in the comments section!
Bon apetit magazine editor in chief just resigned today too. Condé Nast owns them.
Oh and lets not forget Alison Roman! Who got in trouble three weeks ago for making two mean comments about Chrissy Teigen and the Kondo woman in an article, so therefore she's racist against Asians. A picture of her from 12 years ago popped up that people said was racist because she was dressed like a "Chola".... turns out it was her dressed like Amy Winehouse for Halloween. People are REALLY digging (plus they had already fired her from NYT).
Oh and this is what I was saying about the girl with the Daily Beast, the only person I've heard of who didn't stick her tail between her legs immediately (70 co-workers petitioned against her, and she continued to work at this company for six months bc her boss supported her, and now she's suing The Daily Beast and one of her former employees): www.suefakenews.com
