The mainstream media just keeps digging deeper and deeper holes for themselves. CNN’s Jim Acosta is a prime example. The AP with Trump’s grocery store example is another. Meanwhile, the newest hire for the NY Times Editorial board has a well documented hatred for white people.

NYT announced on Wednesday that they hired Sarah Jeong to join their editorial board. Jeong previously wrote for the Verge and authored “The Internet of Garbage,” a book about online harassment and free speech.

Think about that for a minute. She wrote a book about ONLINE HARASSMENT and FREE SPEECH. Perhaps she should’ve looked in the mirror. Why? The following is why.

Let’s take a closer look at a few of her gems shall we?

Wowwwww…that’s CLASSY.

Seriously, in what realm is any of this ok?

Seriously @nytimes?! You have a RACIST on your editorial board?

For years we have been hearing that recruiters check your social media etc. Apparently not at NYT

Yeah, the NY Times evidently marches to their own drummer. If it was anyone else, such as a baseball player by the name of Josh Hader whom Deanna wrote about here, the knives would be out and the calls for stepping down would be reverberating around the world today!

It’s ok to call for Josh Hader’s firing. It’s ok to get James Gunn dumped from Hollywood, and it’s ok to virtue signal against anyone who said something racist …unless you are the New York Times.

Look, if the New York Times wants to hand over their editorial page to someone who writes like every other brain-dead Wellesley sophomore grievance studies major, that's their business

Right. Because you see, the NY Times explains, therefore we need to Shut Up.

So, let me get this straight. Sarah Jeong’s racists tweets from 2014 etc are peachy keen because she was responding to harassment because of her race?? Uhhh NO. I. DON’T. THINK. SO!

Take a look at her tweets again. Those are NOT responses. They are direct comments toward white people and white men in particular. Any responses of hers in those tweets are a continuation of what SHE started.

She regrets stuff and because she’s regretful, the NY Times is ok with her racism.

Paging the NY Times. Do you remember Quinn Norton? You should. You see, you wanted to hire her as an opinion writer for the technology page. You did, and then summarily fired her just hours later. WHY?

In Feb. 2018, the @nytimes “parted ways” with Quinn Norton, who it had just hired as its editorial board’s lead opinion writer on technology, following the discovery of problematic tweets, including one where she said something nice about a bad person. Hypocrites

— Scott Matteson (@strike03) August 2, 2018

Well, she also, as the linked story shows, had a history of problematic and racist tweets as well. So, the NY Times fired her.

Is there any difference between what Quinn tweeted and what Sarah tweeted? Why, no, no there isn’t. Yet the NY Times is defending Sarah and threw Quinn to the curb. The hypocrisy is hip-deep right now.

How will the media spin this? The Federalist’s Sean Davis has the answer.

That sound you hear is a bunch of left-wing activists masquerading as journalists feverishly writing a bunch of breathless "Conservatives pounce on NYT" stories to help distract from the paper's racist new hire.

In real life, people would not vomit racism for anyone listening.

In real life, the people hearing such hatred would distance themselves from it, not make excuses for it.

In real life, if you acted unprofessionally, you would not be hired at a major company.

Exactly. But you see, the New York Times has it’s standards and it starts with hypocrisy and flows right into twisted-pretzel double standards on level Megatron.

Note that KEVIN WILLIAMSON is far more reasonable than the Leftists that attacked him: The Times Can Hire and Fire Whomever It Likes https://t.co/OwRGFsh0Ss

Kevin makes a good point here:

If, on the other hand, the Times is more or less satisfied with Jeong, then it should resist the social-media mob campaign to have her dismissed. It is up to institutions to hold the line against mass hysteria and the mob mentality of social media.

Was this a good move by the New York Times? Only they can answer that. Is their defense of Sarah’s racist tweets hypocritical on various levels? Why, yes, yes it is. Should the NY Times fire Sarah and as such hold to the same standards they used with Quinn Norton? When you look at it that way, the answer is very likely “yes.”

However, they shouldn’t. Sarah, by her nature, will likely drive the editorial page into the ditch all on her own. And the NY Times shouldn’t fire her. What they SHOULD do is have the same standards for all employees, but they don’t. And they are seemingly OK with that, too.
