NYT in damage control mode

New York Times Reportedly Cancels Contract of Editor Who Tweeted Having ‘Chills’ on Biden Inauguration Day

The New York Times has reportedly terminated the contract of an editor who tweeted that she had “chills” while watching President Joe Biden’s plane land at Joint Base Andrews a day ahead of his inauguration.
...
Wolfe also criticized outgoing President Donald Trump, calling what she said was his decision not to send a military plane to bring Biden to D.C. for the inauguration was “mortifying” and “childish.” She later deleted the tweet after learning that Biden had chosen to take his own plane to D.C.

Wolfe faced criticism for her “chills” tweet, which she has also since deleted, and responded that she was excited and “interested” in historical moments like the transition of power, according to a Daily Mail report.

Fox News had a more thorough report on Wolfe’s critics, with some comparing Wolfe to former MSNBC host Chris Matthews, who famously said he felt a “thrill up my leg” after a speech by then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008. The conservative Media Research Center warned readers to “prepare for four years of this from the media.”


The NYT, knowing it's about to lose a vast majority of its Trump-hating audience, is now in damage control, hoping to engage or retain some audience on the merit of its actual journalism, which requires at least an appearance of integrity.
