Celebrate diversity* *unless it is political opinions that aren't mine.
Scary how many on the Left want one party rule. One party rule gave us the cities of Detroit and Baltimore. Corrupt politician after corrupt politician.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

The question at is is not what he wrote.
The question at hand is do you think he has a right to express his views if they are different than yours. The NYT aparently does not.

IF I wrote an opinion piece, submitted it to ANY news paper....stating that for the countries highest good,
the president should be shackled and hung up by his feet till he ceased to breath....SHOULD THAT
BE PUBLISHED?
Of course. Did you not take high school civics. Just don't yell fire in a crowded theater.
BTW, your example sucks, There are movies, plays etc depecting the assasination of the presedent going back several administrations at least.They were not censored.
Back when liberals were sane the ACLU defended the KKK's right to march. Not because they supported the KKK but because free speacjh used to mean something to the left.

appropriate process not followed.....they admitted that. The industry, *any industry for that matter,is up
against a fast paced,24 hr news cycle...the required speed to compete, is stunting decision making processes...NO time to review,recheck,rethink....THAT is a HUGE concern as this warp speed plan
to get a vaccine out NOW.....is being implemented...FDA will fast track and THEN accept the fall out for
any failures/fatalities....and there will be.
FOR BB... I answered the question in a succinct manner...they admitted it was wrong...what MORE do U
want.?

Plenty with eyes and ears notice but they are not willing to admit it. We know that if this was done by a conservative paper of network, the NYT would be jumping on it like a tiger to a steak.
And here we go...
New York Times opinion editor resigns following ‘Send in the Troops’ controversy
Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple wrote a pointed critique under the headline: “Crisis of conviction at the New York Times,” in which he said that in just two days, the New York Times had “alienated staffers, readers, liberals, conservatives, free-expression absolutists of all political persuasions and Tom Cotton.”
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

My current theory is that the disconnect between the real world and the world the progressives live in is causing some kind of psychotic break.

AND I believe that to be apparent, when about 30 percent of the populace are bleaching their food and gargling with bleach or ingesting bleach because the king states it might be a good idea....friggin' down
right frightening that people are that malleable....and have NO common sense.
