\u0027As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space,\u0027 she wrote

“The paper of record is, more and more, the record of those living in a distant galaxy, one whose concerns are profoundly removed from the lives of most people,” she wrote. “Nowadays, standing up for principle at the paper does not win plaudits. It puts a target on your back.”

She also joined a long list of writers recently who penned a letter published by Harper’s in which the signatories worried about the free exchange of ideas in American society. Her opinions and sharp wit has even landed her TV interviews on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher and The View. Acting editorial page editor Kathleen Kingsbury said in a statement Tuesday that “we appreciate the many contributions that Bari made to Times Opinion.”

The internal drama played out on social media, and many staffers took exception with Weiss’s characterization of it as a “civil war inside The New York Times between the wokes the liberals,” noting that the criticism came from a range of staffers.

LMFAO only controversial because she doesn’t follow the fucking Liberal/progressive IDIOTS that run the rag!!

Didn't realize a centrist could be 'controversial'

She was a brave person to resign because of her principles. Ms Weiss’ resignation letter illustrates the demise of the paper.The mob culture is embedded in the Times with their biased news pieces. Unfortunately principles will eventually get you fired or ignored. Good luck, Bari.

'Controversial columnist.' What has the National Post become? Another marxist propaganda rag?

Why do leftists in the media call her controversial? Just because she believes in balanced journalism?

It's all Twitter's fault just leave me alone, I miss the days when the public could not respond to my b*******

God bless for standing up!

Yup Anyone Who Quits the MSMDefcon101 👀🎈❄️😜 Is 'Controversial' MagicKingdom

Controversial? It was her 'woke' bullying coworkers who drove her out.

Controversial? To who. The failing NYT. She was bullied and you are saying she is controversial. She brought in a differetn perspective a little right of center. But the NYT readers only want far left content.

She's controversial because she believed in free speech and independent thought. This is how far society has fallen. Tyranny is not far off.

She's only controversial now that she's outed the true nature of the beast.

'Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions”

What was controversial?

The Post National ironically calling others out for controversial opinions?

That's ironic given nationalist is running gossip rag stories about 'Karen's' as though it's actually something a credible news organization would do.

She's not controversial...she's just awful. Got exposed by Rogan BADLY

Yes, it’s twitter’s fault that she voluntarily quit her job.

Good. She is a woman of principle. She knows this woke brigade is about to sink that ship.

'Controversial'? Lol

Too many editors at too many levels.

Congratulations, finally standing up for the truth.
